Finished - at last!

It's done. Finally done. Oh it's been a slog this one has - over a year - the Debbie Bliss rib and cable cardigan, knitted in the marvellous Posh Yarn Emily. The yarn is a dream to knit with, but blimey, what a boring pattern. And to be quite honest, I'm not even sure I like it very much. Oh it looks pretty enough off, laying on the gras, but on me is a different matter. It's quite short and rather snug fitting. I knitted the large size, but am I really so big that large is too small?

I do, however, love the fact that I've cast on in a dfferent colour and have variegated buttons and have made a silly flower thing to go on it. My mother in law assures me that I have the flower on the wrong side ('ladies should always wear a corsage on the right dear') but I like it there so tough!


To celebrate finishing something else, I've got new yarn! And no Warren, I didn't buy it. I won a competition over here. Lucky old me! some beautiful silk Regia sock yarn and would you just look at the araucania blues. It's gorgeous! Thank-you so much Barbara. Needless to say I shall be casting on something with that tonight! Socks? Shawl? Scarf? Ooh, decisions, decisions....
