So, Jenny is finished and in my drawer waiting for her next opportunity. Oh and as an aside, can I thank Jacinta for giving me these really pretty charm labels for my birthday. And now that I have finally finished something, I got to use one.
Of course, having finished one project the question was what to cast on next. OK so Fruity still isn't fully blocked and there are still a gazillion ends to sew in, but hey girls, I have empty needles and I feel that one should always try to avoid having too many needles out of service.
So I cast this.
What if I show you the yarns needed?
And now I am going to go and knit instead of talking about it. If it weren't for the Lurex yarn attempting to tangle itself around anything it can find, I'd say this is a near perfect project.
Hi Amelia,
the pattern for my cardigan was 'Barra' from Rowan Classic Winter. It's lovely and snug w/o being heavy. I have a peppermint twist on the needles too though mine is green mix and white!
Happy Knitting x

Posted by: Wendy Peterson at September 17, 2005 11:21 PMLook at you and your colorful project! This is one of my favorites from this book as well. Looks like you're making excellent progress! Cheers-
Posted by: Dana at September 16, 2005 07:48 PMI love the PINK. It looks great. The only thing that kept me from knitting it, is that I didn't think I could find the Phildar yarn. Are you using the Phildar or the Rowan Lurex?
Posted by: Diane at September 16, 2005 01:47 AMReally, really wonderful colours, Amelia, and I've blinked... and you've knitted a sleeve (I think)! Speedy knitter!

Posted by: dawn at September 16, 2005 12:39 AMthat lurex is a sociable yarn... loves to wrap itself around everything.
Posted by: anna at September 14, 2005 08:07 PMGorgeous gorgeous colours Amelia ! I adore pink :0) A great pattern too - tho' not having the enviably slim figure of you and Becky I'm not sure it would suit me :0(
Love the labels too. I just ordered some labels for myself (having been nagged into it by my husband - goodness knows why ??) so I'm just waiting for the postman to do his stuff !
Posted by: Heather at September 14, 2005 07:50 PMJust wanted to let you know it wasn't Maman who went to the Phildar shop, but Daddy!
Love, Daddy x x X
