First time for everything
Like most dedicated knitters I have many projects on the go at once, I sometimes feel like a women possessed as I can’t stop knitting, even at the hairdressers. I think I am turning into my mother as she was exactly the same and I used to think I would never get like that, how wrong can you be! There is no hope for Vicki she will obviously be like me, she already shares my passion for knitting, shoes and handbags.
Enough of all that, one of the many projects I am knitting at the moment, and it is a first, is a cardigan using multicolour Kauni yarn, the colour I am using is rainbow coloured and very pretty. It is one of those garments that is knit in the round and when completed is cut. The beauty of it is that there is no sewing up, the armholes are cut and stitches picked up for the sleeves which are also knit in the round, the same goes for the front this is also cut and stitches picked up for the bands, at this stage I think I will be very nervous of something going wrong. We don’t stock this yarn at the moment as we thought it best to try it first, but as it is turning out so nicely we are definitely planning to stock this in the future.
Hi, I hope you will be bringing your finished garment into the shop for us all to have a good and close look at - although I have heard of the knit and cut method before I have never seen anything actually knitted and cut up!!! I must admit it sounds scary!! Good luck!!
The new shop layout is fab and is quite tardis like (are you sure you didnt manage to squeeze even more in??)!!! It must be like christmas every day at your shop opening up all the deliveries of yummy yarns!!! See you again soon - penny x
p.s. I have never left a comment on anyone’s site before so I hope this is not too short/long etc!!
