Sparkdoveseyes Days Through the Knitting Glass episode today.  

 

Morning to You All, thanks for stopping by.

I am continuing to work on my do over cardigan. Having undone and re skeined the yarn, I knitted the two sleeves and the back, when I was half  way up the front,  I  found that I  had not enough yarn to complete. 

 

I purchased two balls of white Aran, used the DK yarn I had held double and found a sparkle ball to mix in. Hope you can see it in the photo. 

 

 

 It is in the green.

 

 This one shows the stripey front shoulder folded up  and the start of the white collar. The top is actually the bottom ... :)  once the collar is the right length is is sewn down the front to make a shawl collar.

Then the sleeves are added and everything sewn together. It was certainly an interesting pattern to knit,very easy to follow and with the Aran yarn quick to knit. It is a thicker yarn than the DK or 8 ply I usually use.

This is my join, on the left, the green to the white stripe, it is so neat I will be using it every time now.

 

 Here is a reminder of the pattern I am using :).

 

Another try at showing the bling :) from Hubby's phone

 

 

 

Thanks so much for your continued support, 

Have a wonderful week, 

 

Hugs
