Green Cardi finished!

Hi there!

Firstly I have a Ta-Dah!!!!!

My Little Green Indifference is all complete.  This project was cast on in July (2012!!!)   The fronts were a doddle but the sleeves, well they didn't go so well,  they were far too baggy, so I frogged them back and then it ended up down the back of the sofa languishing in it's bag.  I dragged it back out in June ~ the year!   The pattern can be found here ~ it's a tie front shrug made from the top down.  Instead of making the ties I continued straight down to the bottom.
I made i-cord ties to tie under the bust.  I left the cuff edges to roll back and picked up 2 stitches for every 3 rows around the fronts knit 6 rows.  I'm pleased with the turned back hem and I love the colour of the yarn ~ 4 ply Stylecraft Life.   I think it will have lots of wear.
 What a lovely few days we've had of September sunshine.   There hasn't been a cloud in the sky.  Mr Clicky and me could be laying a laminate floor in the bathroom, but we decided it was an outdoorsy sort of day instead. 
 I sat in my favourite place in the garden and knitted.  I'm back on my frogged stripy cardigan and still loving the yarn ~ Drops Alpaca and the stripes in Drops Delight, good fun.  
 Tipper joined me in the sunshine.
I thought you might like to see our new 'knitted' bedside lights.  I got them in The Range.   I like them very much.
School is back in full swing, and the germs and bugs are being passed around.  3 of our teachers have been ill with colds this weekend!

That's me for now, let's hope this lovely sunshine continues.

See you soon.........Clicky Needles.

  3. That sweater is wonderful, great color and style. So glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, it is still too hot here to be out, but I can't wait until it cools off a bit.
    Have a great week,
