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.

WIP Wednesday time again
Good afternoon to you from a dull, drizzly, misty Cambridgeshire. Its one of those afternoons when you want to just curl up with your knitting or a good book, cup of tea and maybe some cake!
My WIPs this week are the Lady Kina, which is coming on well. I decided to add three quarter sleeves as I'm not a fan of cap sleeves. I knitted 40 rows in stocking stitch and 10 rows in garter stitch, much more me. This is the first top down that I have done for myself and I'm loving the fact that I can try on as I go, it takes the guess work out of the finished length. The only draw back is the weight of the needles/cable
Secondly is a cardigan for a colleague of Rachel's baby daughter due soon - its a Sublime pattern, Peach Sorbet - I'm calling it Shocking in Pink, its knitted in Kirkton House Craft Double Knitting yarn, cheap and cheerful ideal for a busy new mum. Just the sewing up to do
I am feeling odd today due to a crack on the head last evening. Let say heads, reading glasses and oak trunk lids don't agree. I have a lump on my head, split on my nose, spinning head and a headache - I'm hoping not concussion.
