settling in

well we are all settling into our new routine, the littlest has surprised us all & is doing so very well, the oldest is struggling most, having moved into year three he's found that it's all about hard work from here on in - poor chap, barney & i have found comfort in each others company & he's especially loving his longer week day walks {when i'm not at work that is} i've been able to finish off little O's new cardi, which was such a pleasure to knit, despite having to rip it back to start over in a bigger size! it's knit up in some debbie bliss 'fez' {which i'd got off ebay at a great price} such lovely yarn to work with, it's a shame i think it's been discontinued & i love the colour so much, luckily she's rather fond of it too & was most obliging when i asked to take some photos of it on her, i used rather a muddle of clear vintage buttons as i didn't have enough of one type! thankfully i think they work rather well on the cardigan, the pattern details are over here

  2. It looks much nicer than the reverse stocking stitch on the pattern!

  5. Hi Kelly. Funny enough I had just been looking through your ravelry projects before I found this post. I'm looking for inspiration to knit a cardi for my girl once I've finished the jumper I'm working on for me. What a shame fez is discontinued, I made a scarf with it, it was lovely to knit with. Love this cardi, but you're right about it being better inside out!
    Happy week xox

  6. I just love Debbie Bliss full-stop but my knitting tends to go full-stop also. Lovely cardigan, modelled very professionally!
