Well hello there, good morning!How are things going at yours this fine Tuesday?
I'm good. So happy to have finally finished my green cardi. I think it'll be such a handy addition to the wardrobe. Great for throwing over the shoulders on a cooler summer's day or for wearing over a long sleeve top when the weather is cooler.
I am so excited to have knitted something for myself that I will definitely wear and love wearing.
All the details for this fab pattern can be found here.
HUGE thanks to Knitter Sue for the cotton.
I hope your week has gotten off to a great start.The flood waters have receded at our place taking the drive way gravel with them and knocking down a few tress, but all in all we've been really lucky. The boys even managed to rescue the irrigation lines Bren was so worried about.
I hope you are feeling happy today.I'm off to check out the blogs Pepper and Jazzy have been drawing on their cardboard computers. After that maybe a bit of time on Ravelry choosing a new pattern.
Have fun out there. XX
Wow - beautiful - definitely a handy wardrobe item.
ReplyDeleteGlad to here the floods have not damaged too much around you.
