I knit, I sew, I blog
Lavender from a shrub next to the front door of my building. The scent is heavenly whenever a breeze passes by!
And the other day I got hold of this book from my local library. It’s a quirky and perhaps kitschy kind of book, full of patterns for knitted cottages and gardens like these…
And my favourite, a “garden bed”, hehehe…
Finally, a finished object on this blog! 🙂
This is the cardigan that I knitted for Jade‘s bub as part of our swap. It’s the “Ribbon Edged Cardigan” pattern from Special Knits, but without the ribbon edging.
Pattern: Ribbon Edged Cardigan (sans ribbon) from Special Knits
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, colour 340010, 4 balls for the 2yo size
Needles: 3mm for the hems, and 3.25mm for the rest
Close up of the buttons, and macro photo of the day 🙂
I’m very excited about this swap! I sure had fun knitting this. And just LOOK at what Jade has made for Annette! I love it! Can’t wait to see it in person.
Some mill ends from Kaalund Yarns in lots of colours, thinking of making something for Annette.
I’m also participating in this 30 day macro photo challenge during April, that Karin of Orange Flower is organising. So the photo above is my first one. The idea is to post a photo taken with the macro (or close up) setting on the camera each day (I might miss days here and there though).
If you’re not sure about how to use macro setting on your camera, there’s some info and links here to get you started.
