$70 Tank
Sep 23rd
Do you ever get this? Someone you know (usually a nonknitter) comes up to you and says “wow, you must save a lot of money by knitting your own clothes.”
I get it pretty regularly. Happened to me last time I was visiting one of my cousins. Guess what my response was.
Absolutely! This tank only cost me about $70 and provided me with hours of entertainment.
I love seeing the look of shock come over their face.
One Day Wonders
Sep 10th
My niece went home with my sister on Monday & now I can’t stop knitting baby stuff. Isn’t she adorable!
Last night I cast on this little sweater. And by the end of the evening it was all knit up. I couldn’t believe how quickly it went.
The pattern is Inca-Dincadoo Cardigan from Luxury Yarn One Skein Wonders. The pattern calls for organic cotton, but I used this lovely bamboo yarn & some funky sparkly pink eyelash yarn instead. I love how it turned out.
This morning I got up & sewed up the seams. And tada, we have a sweater!
Now I need to go shopping for cute little buttons. Oh, and I am also casting on another sweater. This time I am using our sock yarn in Lizard Breath, which is also available in our sea cell & merino sock yarn. For reasons I probably shouldn’t share with the world, it reminds me of my sister & I absolutely have to knit it into a baby sweater for my niece.
