I've been very busy with socks but also started a thick cable man's sweater. A bit heavy and hot for working during the summer months, but getting back to it now, along with a nice alpaca and kid-silk vest. However, I've fallen in love with a gorgeous cardigan together with yarn from Portugal. I've yet to knit a cardigan but I'm definitely going to attempt this one
Thanks so much for sharing what you've been creating. All your projects sound lovely. Let's know how you get on with your cardigan. It's so good to try something we've not done before. :)
I do not regret knitting a sweater through summer; my future self is graciously thanking me! oooh I’d love to see you work on a sweater but a color work vest sounds just as good. Selfishly, I’m looking for inspiration to try color work which currently intimidates me beyond measure.
Yes, yes, yes to trying out colorwork Tashay! You'll get the hang of it to be sure, look at what you've already achieved. :) In the beginning, my floats were far too tight and everything bunched up. I learned how to knit continental so I had more control using my left hand to hold one color and pick the stitches. Right hand is fine, I knit English style. Once I got into the groove by practicing with swatches, I completed a simple colorwork cowl for my Mum. Colorwork with floats is such fun!
