In June there was knitting, crochet and photography. No loaves of bread though. Not to say I am not continuing to make such things. For knitting: it was a tutorial on my method of doing kitchener stitch, the cardigan I am knitting in 4 ply and a baby cardigan I was finally able to complete.… Read More Monthly Montage – June
Some of you may remember almost four years ago, Yes! four years!, when I went to Hythe and bought a pattern to make a cardigan like one my mother had. https://rainbowjunkiecorner.wordpress.com/2015/08/29/the-knitting-pattern-expedition/ This pattern.

Finally got around to sharing photographs of the baby coat I made for a friend’s grandchild.

Now quite often I imagine making things in my head that may never get made but are fun to think about… Read More Kitchener stitch and Guess the Yarn

This is how far I have got with the baby cardigan I showed you last week. I have joined the shoulder seams. I have to admit it took me several goes to get the spacing correct. (As I’ve said before: sewing is not my strong point.) However I persisted and eventually it was good enough.… Read More Baby cardigan – as far as I can go?
