Things have not been going that
well recently. I have been ill for
several days and am still trying to carry on as normal. I don’t even seem to have the energy to
knit. However I have finished this
cardigan as a present for my mother.
I had done most of the knitting
in October but I hadn’t sewn it together.
The yarn is lovely – Rowan brushed fleece – which is 65% wool, 30%
alpaca and 5% polyamide. This is shade
254. It is sort of a dull brown – not at
all exciting – but I am hoping my mother will like it. I think I should call it “understated”!
The pattern is a very old one
from Littlewoods. The original design
did not have pockets, but Mother likes to have pockets so I have added them to
the front hiding them in the pattern.
Every year I seem to forget how
tired and stressed I get in December – note to self: do not knit Christmas
presents next year!
