I've given away some of
someone else's stash to a lady who knits toys for a children's hospital. There was yarn remaining that was less bitty, but not enough to knit a garment with. So I'm combining two of them to knit a cardigan for myself. I spent some time contemplating
how to combine them and decided on narrow stripes. At one stage I thought I'd do the sleeves all in the blue boucle, but I'm inclining towards stripes throughout. I'm knitting back and forth on a circular needle and planning to use Elizabeth Zimmerman's percentage method to work out stitches for the sleeves and yoke. It's easy knitting, so good for taking along.
I have finished tatting round 12 of the Spring Doily.

Clever way to use up bits. I'm in awe that you can just start knitting and create a useful garment!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting texture. I think it will turn out very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIntersting way of using up bits of wool thats not enough, look forward to seeing how it works out
