Cardigan

Upcoming project... lovely stripey colourful cardigan.  Having dabbled in bits and pieces of crochet for a while now, I think it is time to try crafting an actual garment.  This pattern book caught my eye.

It has 6 projects designed for using up scraps (I don't have a lot since I have used them up in my dabbling...) so I have purchased some gorgeous Jo Sharp Summer SoHo Cotton to make the cardigan on the cover with (all on sale!  End of dye lots).  Need a couple more colours and some black so a nice excuse to go yarn shopping.  I can hardly wait to get started although I am making an amigurumi giraffe for my prac supervisor at the moment (long story)... so not sure when I will start (also the daisy rug to finish off).

Hopefully when done it will go with lots of things in my wardrobe and being cotton will be a nice mid-season cardie.  When does Brisbane really get cold enough for truly cold-weather cardies and jumpers anyhow?

I keep looking at the yarn (pretty!) and am really looking forward to working with the lovely colours and texture :)

WIP: Daisy Rug

Since uni has started back it's much harder to find time to post updates to this blog.  I still seem to have found some time for my crafty projects though.  The daisy granny rug is nearly done now, just the hateful job of sewing all the ends in to go.  Here are some pictures of progress (and of Banjo thinking the photo session was an invitation to lay down on the job!)
