It was only when I came across this yarn that I was overwhelmed with the need to crack knitting. I sooooo wanted to give it a home but the only thing that I wanted to create with it was a cardi for Big and Little Miss to share.
You can of course make crochet cardigans but they just didn't take my fancy.
Having purchased needles, a pattern, and of course this delightful yarn, I was eager to get started. However, I nearly stumbled at the first hurdle because upon reading the pattern I realised that I would have to knit and purl alternatively - something I had never done before.
After umpteen times of stitching and unravelling on my own I gave up with frustration. However, during a family get together I was given some tuition from my mother in law with an oddment of yarn and a pair of needles. Having on taken on her advice this is the result.......
...rib stitch!
This is the back piece in production. We'll see where this journey ends....
