Although I am still sewing up blankets from the BIG Knit and have my eye on a couple of gorgeous stash projects I have just got one or two other plans for the needles
Look! I even swatched. I am hoping this will be a super quick little project, its Flow by Nora Gaughan although you probably won't be surprised to know that I'm modifying it a little. My 'Flo' will be straight and boxy, sitting on my hips but not flowing over them (too much frillyness in this style for my size). I also discovered from my swatch <<smug face>> that the tension I get with the Rowan Savannah is about 12% larger than the pattern so, as it is a very simple shape, I am just making it in a size smaller (a little bit of denial there too).
Do you see my pretty stitch marker? Lots of plain knitting until I reach the armholes, ideal for Wimbledon watching.
I scored the yarn in the Liberty sale, at half price I had to have it. And a second bundle in a different colour.
This is destined to be a short sleeved cardigan that I have designed myself. So far I have made it up in Daphne's size (she is The Little Model's favourite doll)
When I make it for me I shall make the body slightly longer. Cast on at one front edge, all garter stitch, short row yoke , button hole, cast off. Should be easy!
But I must get back to the blankets - I'm enjoying them really. And it seems I am not the only one in my town busy with knitted squares
