Whew! One handspun garment!
Starting life as a (giant) bundle of fondantfibre's rolags, this little handspun cardigan took quite a while to make!
All the details are on my ravelry project page; The rolags were british wool, mohair, silk and bamboo - wonderful to spin, and felt very quick & easy. The pattern was the featherweight cardigan by Hannah Fettig, which is available on ravelry.
I did get stuck on sleeve island for quite a while, especially whilst beginning my christmas knitting! Anyhoo, it's now finished, and I'm having a dilemma as to whether or not to add some shiny buttons...
Perhaps I'll wait a while before embarking on another handspun garment. Though, being rather teeny myself, I'm probably in quite a good situation when it comes to knitting clothes!
Today at work, a teeny wee old lady declared to her family that 'that nice wee doctor over there is having a baby!'. I am not, and have no intention of, having a baby. I may indeed have just eaten several slices of pizza, but I am not with child. After waiting for the congratulations to die down, I explained this to the wee lady and her family, who were then a mixture of disappointed (on the wee ladies part) and mortified (for the rest of the family).
Woe is me and my pizza tummy.
very cute!
