Knitting - flying off the needles

I seem to be getting through the knitting at a rate of knots at the moment.  The one good thing is that the projects are small so that helps no end.

My latest project is for Jessica.  Rachel requested a cardigan in green and grey to go with a baby-grow she has which is predominately grey with little green cats on it.  Here is what we decided on


Pattern -  Sublime 634 - Stripey Sailor Girl. Size 16" chest
Yarn - Kirkton House Craft Double Knitting from Aldi.
Buttons & Motif - from the Knitting & Stitching Show

My next project is to dress the doll for the village festival and then some bunting for the Cambridge leg of the Tour de France this summer.

    You have a gift for finding adorable patterns. And for being the fastest knitter I know!

    Ha - I have to tell you that I quickly double checked what I had written before I hit the publish button and my computer had auto-corrected fastest to fattest. I can't believe I almost sent that! Note to self: ALWAYS proofread comments before hitting publish. :-)

    I was reading North of 49 this morning and she mentioned your blog, so I thought I'd drop by. So pleased I did, that little cardigan is gorgeous, I love the colour and the little buttons.

    What a darling sweater! At first, it looked like it said 46" and then looked again. Ha. Too sweet! Love baby sweaters.

    Really lovely - the buttons, the flower and especially the colour and the placing of the grey stripes!
