mustard hearts for me ::
Posted by vicki brown on
my newest short sleeved sweater is finished! It still needs blocking (which I'm really hoping will give it a bit more length as it's a teeny bit short) but otherwise it's all finished and I'm quite in love with it.
I made a few silly mistakes with the fair isle pattern, but for a first attempt I think I did pretty well.

another placket neck ::
Posted by vicki brown on
I made Joelle Hoverson's placket neck sweater for Milo back in the summer and I loved it! The pattern was so easy and quick to knit (it does come from last minute knitted gifts after all). It also introduced me to some new techniques, including knitting on circular needles, which is now by far my favourite way to knit.
So at when time was running out for all the holiday handknits I had promised...
