I can now continue with this beautiful cardigan. Or at least I can once I've finished the Mother's Day scarves. I feel some manic knitting coming on!
I did manage to locate some flower braid for Astroturf, and sewed it on last night:
Looks like Spring is coming at last!
Not matter what I'm knitting, I can't help thinking about what I'll knit next. Of course I need to finish the Red Tank and Clapotis (who sadly ran out of yarn about halfway through the decreasing; sob sob). But also what will I start that's NEW and exciting? Well since I did my stash photo session, my Colinette Giotto has been softly calling me. I think she would look wonderful as this:
Diagonal V-Front Sweater
The pattern is in the Vogue Knitting Designer Knits book, which I obviously need to get hold of. I've added it to my Amazon wishlist to give a hint to anyone who wants to buy me something. (Ahem, dear hub, is that Mother's Day is see coming this Sunday? Am I a Mom? Why I think I am..!) Fingers crossed. ;-)
