WIP #2

This is my Cardigan A Long project

This fantastic Summer Cardigan is also made from 100% cotton 

Again it's made in Cream / Ivory

Sadly this is NOT for sale

As I want to wear it myself!

It's going to be well worn this Summer!

Now for Granny A Day 139

I pulled these yarns from my basket and put them on my desk

As I was going to delve deeper into the basket  

To pull out some colours from the bottom, but then I thought

Why not use these colours?

So I did and here is 

GAD 139

Only another 227 to go!

Granny A Day 138 & Cardigan A Long News!

Cardigan A Long News

Well as you can see, I spent a lot of my free time today working on finishing the right sleeve of my Cardigan A Long, and here it is:

It may look wider than the one already attached but that's just because it hasn't been sewn together yet.

I am not going to risk doing that tonight as I am very tired, after a fraught day, so I won't risk it, but will leave it for a job to do tomorrow.

Now Granny A Day 138 comes with a warning

Prepare your eyes for this burst of colour before you scroll down to view it

You have been warned

Sorry about that!

Granny A Day 137 & Cardigan A Long

My very talented Left Handed Crochet Student, the one who has FORCED me into making a cardigan with her, came for a lesson today.

I was really pleased that she followed my lead from the other day, when I was having problems with the length of the sleeve that the pattern was recommending, as she herself realised that her sleeve would end up too short and not only that but too tight too!

So she knows that she has to increase the width of the sleeve and the length too.

Here she is joining the shoulder seams together

And this is CA trying her (sleeveless) cardigan on 

It's a great fit on her

And it's looking GREAT

She is so thrilled with it that she gave me a big hug today!

So in class we decided that we would work on the border / edging together

Here are some pictures of my finished edging.

I am really pleased with the way it's turned out.

I just have to make and attach one more sleeve to mine!

Granny A Day 137 is being joined in place as I go

Here's a close up half way through the join as you go method

And this is 137!

Ta Dah!
