WIP Wednesday

 I have four small granddaughters so I’m having fun making dresses for birthdays & Christmas.

Birthday dress for 3 yr old Ariel

I can’t say that I love the cutting and taping of patterns, but that how it’s done, these days.

I’m making a Sweetheart Dress from Etsy

The Anker cardigan is progressing nicely.

It’s lots of rows of knitting and nothing much else.

The colour is really lovely.

WIP Wednesday - Anker’s Cardigan

 The cardigan is going well.

I love the colour.

I’m patient with all the minor tweaks. 

The neckline was too tight for a Brisbane cardigan, so I unpicked the first bask of ribbing.

I’m knitting the cardigan in the round, not flat.

I have added short rows AFTER the ribbing, using the free Flax pattern by Tincan Knits.

Now for lots of boring knitting in the round before I steek.
