I wanted something yellow and a little spring since you can actually WEAR A CARDIGAN up here in MAY! And some mornings in JUNE even. Only one morning in June so far but still.
The Garden Cardigan in Knit Picks High Desert Sport (Rabbitbrush). Really just a fun pattern and the construction is smart and makes you feel like you’ve done some kind of trick. Here’s the neck:
Cute little overlap. I’d make this again.
This one is Beeton’s Dahlia Doily in the sweet Red Heart Crochet (size 3) from Walmart. On US 2s. I probably have one more doily in me. Probably.
I thought about fungi while I was reducing Like a Waffle to its component parts. I just finished reading Entangled Life so fungi is already on my mind.
I do not like the waffle sweater. I think it wants to be in a mohair or something at that gauge – not an aran weight yarn. I tried it with balloon sleeves. I tried it with bell sleeves. I blocked it. I’m going to pull it out and make something else.
This I like.
New shutters! So much better.
Word on the street is that outside work starts again in March. I am pretty excited.
This one is actually the Zinnia Dishcloth, but I think it works as a doily. In peaches and Cream (a dishcloth yarn hah) on US7s it cam out at around 11″. I did not use the pattern’s crochet bind off, but instead went with a picot bind off.
How many until this counts as a phase? I just started another one.
Flower Doily (out of print, but free on the internets). I used Red Heart Fashion Crochet Thread Size 3 (purchased at Walmart) and US2 double pointed needles. I ended up with a 9″ doiley that I put under a plant.
That was pretty fun. I am going to make some more.
Moving on to the next big thing. (That’s Cascade 220 aran in ‘Sunflower’.)
Starting something small while that other sweater blocks…and I wait for the new yarn to arrive.
He’s not as much help as you’d think.
