This
week I have found a cure for my castonitis. Everytime I want to start
a new project I cast on a square for one of my million blankets. For
my cozy memory Blankets each square takes less then an hour so I can
have multiple castons everyday without adding to WIP mountain. As I
am Trying to work on the same blanket all the time I am actually
making a dent in WIP mountain, and most importantly using
up my leftover yarn so I don't have to Find somewhere to store it.
WIN, WIN, WIN.
Between
the Blanket squares I have been working on my autumn
cardi (Details here).
I have Finished one sleeve and most of the body, All I have left to
knit is the 2nd sleeve, 3 inches of stocking stitch on the
body and 4 inches of garter stitch border. I can't wait to finish
this cardi so i can wear it. I didn't do a gauge swatch, I didn't
check the measurements, I just guessed which size might fit me and
started knitting. Miraculously it fits, The sleeve is a bit longer
then I'd like which is no surprise as I followed the measurements on
the pattern knowing I am short, Sleeves are always to long.
The
cardigan is a really nice design which I will knit again. It is
designed in worsted weight yarn making it a quick knit (if I hadn't
put it away for 6 months because I thought it wouldn't fit). I would
recommend this pattern to everyone the designers Tin Can Knits are
amazing, their patterns are full of diagrams and links to tutorials
making their patterns perfect for beginners.
What
projects are you trying to finish for autumn and winter?
Happy
Crafting
