Time To Block

Finally, done...it's been a while with this little cardigan. You wouldn't think something this small would give me so much trouble but it did. It got frogged three times and because I really didn't have gauge I had to adjust the sleeve cap to fit. Even though I blocked the pieces before sewing it together I decided to give it a little wash and see if would shape up better. Now I need to track down three really special buttons.

Meanwhile I cast on for this little lacy top which I would love to have finished by the time we head to Greece. This is a cotton/linen blend yarn which is not my favourite to work with. I'm a wool kind of gal and anything cottony bugs my fingers. I have had this stuff around for a couple of years now, in fact it was an almost finished lacy cardi when in a fit of pique I frogged the sucker and tossed this in the frog pond. Now though guilt has taken hold and budgetary reasons force me to have a look in that pond for something to knit, sigh...

Now because my friend Rudee thinks I can knit lace I've cast on a little triangle lacy shawl. I had to stop after 12 rows though, the needles I have are not for lace. Note to self, find a pair of Addi Turbo's tomorrow, can't knit lace with bamboo. No photo's yet, I'm going to wait for a while and see how it goes. I'd hate to post it and then have it end up in the froggy pond...
