Another Knitted WIP Wednesday


I started another knitting project this week.  It is going to be a baby sweater.  The yarn is a kind of heather mauve/maroon that I purchased at Big Lots for a dollar a skein! I am using a pattern from a box of leaflets that I got in the bargain bin at Barnes & Noble, so I guess you could say I am being really thrifty with this project.  So far, I have finished the back side of the cardigan.  I am not really happy with the bodice part of the pattern, but I will see how the rest of it goes before I try it again...

I’ve not knitted for years but it’s nice to see it’s making a comeback.
Your little sweater looks to be coming along nicely.

Happy Crafting!

It's looking good so far. Knitting is one of the talents I wished I possessed. I'm sure my hubby is glad I don't... one hobby is enough, he'd say.

For a dollar? Yikes, it would make me want to learn knitting properly! I like the bobbly pattern and the colour is really sweet.

What a gorgeous colour. I've picked up my needles recently after years of not knitting, I love it. Enjoy this week's WOYWW snoop of the crafty & creative desks around the world. Take care Zo xx 81

It looks great to me. Though on my screen it looks like an awesome brown. You hit the jackpot it seems both with the pattern and the yarn....well done, think of the money you saved.
