For Breanna


I finished Ana’s cardi. It turned out well I think. 
I like them a bit longer to keep the back warm 



I had the perfect buttons for it. 
I got these at least seven years ago from a craft show in the city. They were selling packets of buttons for only a few dollars. I stocked up. 




I’ve now made a cardigan for the new baby, and Ana. 
Melody took the cardigan I made for myself. It fitted perfectly. 

That means the only one who I haven’t knitted a cardigan for is Breanna. 

I’ve now started one for her. 
The same pattern as I used for Ana’s, except I’ve cast on double the amount of stitches 



I do have more of the yarn I used for Ana’s   But I wasn’t sure it would be enough. I search my stash for something that that would match and found this pretty orange yarn. 

I’ll knit the yoke in this and the switch to the other yarn when I separate the sleeves. 
If I don’t have enough to knit it long enough I’ve got more of this. 

I just hope it looks nice. It might be a tad big. But it will be snuggly warm and she will grow into it 

No harvesting as yet today. I met the girls for coffee 
I woke this morning with my back feeling a tad tender. I think a day of rest is needed.

  2. A tad big is better than too small! Nice work

    1. Yes definitely. They will eventually grow into them

  3. My word you work fast. Like you I like the top down designs because if you are a tad short of yarn, the addition at the bottom doesn't look fso out of place.
