Knitting!
This pattern is the Miette cardigan by Andi Satterlund. And it is gorgeous. I first read about it on Lladybird (which is a blog you should all follow). Then I joined Ravelry.com and realised that what I should be doing with my time is knitting! Why stress about finding the perfect cardigan when I can create it myself!
So the first thing I did was go through my cardigans to see which colour was missing, and the answer was Coral! So I went out and bought 7 balls of this lovely Patons merino cashmere from Lincraft, which was totally cheap. Like $4 a ball. What.
All my materials ready!
I did have about three false starts, because the first few rows of knitting is complicated and very easy to get wrong. I kept having too few stitches. But once I finally got going it became much easier. The whole thing is stocking stitch except for the edges.
Now I look at Andi Sutterland’s ravelry page, she has heaps of lovely jumper and cardigan patterns! I would like to make them ALL! Let’s see how this one goes and then I’ll decide what to jump into next.
