However today I have a very newly begun project (around about 10pm last night) worked in some newly acquired yarn (purchased yesterday around about lunchtime). As you can see this practice is really going to serve it's purpose!
Also inspired by nicsknots I am knitting the puerperium cardigan by Kelly Brooker. This pattern has been in my favourites on ravelry for quite some time now and as I have a cousin expecting early summertime, I thought it the perfect opportunity to cast it on.
I am loving both the yarn (Debbie Bliss, baby cashmerino) and the patten so far, Kelly's patterns are written out so clearly in a real step by step way, which is great. I knitted (though I then frogged) her vanilla soaker a while back, though the finished item wasn't quite right, I'm not sure that was the fault of the pattern or the knitter, but I do remember the pattern itself being very easy to follow.
I'm thinking this may well be friday's FO at this rate!

I am loving your cardigan already. I too have someone who is expecting and I was wondering if I should quickly knit something up before the baby is here....this looks really fast and unisex - maybe I will give this one a go :-D.

That's a quick start to a project - yarn bought and cast on straight away ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the colour, and that's such a cute pattern to choose :)
I, too, have a love for Baby Cashmerino. I picked some up last year for a project I was working on and have since purchased more and more...it's lovely to work with :)
ReplyDeleteooh... love Cashmerino! Looks adorable!
ReplyDeleteAwe. That cardigan is darling! I just added it to my list of favorites!
ReplyDeleteI've been pondering about how to keep myself focused with my 101 projects I have on the go, I like the idea of having a progress day. I look forward to seeing your WIPs and your FO's
