… well, not so much a fail as an unfinished object that I would have liked to have finished…
We are going to a wedding next week and I wanted to make myself a cardigan to wear. Unfortunately, I got fixated on a pattern worked in lace weight yarn. In all honesty, I knew that I did not have time to make it, but I still tried.
It’s a simple pattern, but will (eventually) have an edging of lots and lots of crochet flowers. So far I’m still on the second of the sleeve/body pieces. Ah well, it will be lovely when it’s finished and I’ll just have to wear a cardigan I already have.
Here it is so far…

/ September 5, 2016Thank you… I think I’m going to have loads of left-over yarn, so the colours are likely to appear elsewhere too!

/ September 3, 2016Why do we do these deadline things to ourselves…? It will be lovely when it’s done, but at least now you can relax and enjoy the process of creation instead of slaving away madly.

/ September 3, 2016Unusually for me it’s a non-British wool. It’s Isager Highland Wool, which is from Peru, although the company itself is Danish. I really loved the available colours, and the yarn was just the right gauge for the pattern I wanted to use.
