Handmade Monday 7.2.2011

Well here we are again it's Monday and it's time for Handmade Monday started by Wendy from 1stuniquegifts.  I have not made anything today as I've been busy moving the last bits out of the studio and haven't had time to make anything creative.  This time last year I was moving in - time flies :).

I was telling Wendy that I had started knitting again and would offer that as a work in progress.  I have no idea how long it's going to take me to make this cardigan (for me).  I've already discovered that the yarn is difficult to undo if you make a mistake- that's if you can spot it lol.  It works up quite bubbly (if you can call it that) so if you were following a pattern it wouldn't matter as you'd never spot it.

Hope that you get back into making again quite soon. Your bit of knitting so far reminds me a bit of a weave a man would wear on his head. I am sure that the finished result will look lovely. Make sure we get an update every week

Knitting looks great well done. I tried knitting with similar wool last year but seemed to end up with extra stitches at the end of each row so gave up!

It looks a very close stitch ( I know nothing about knitting though ) and lush and warm too :-) Hope you get it done though and you are happy with the finished result :-0

I hope everything goes well with the move. I know I find things like that stressful. Interesting choice in wool. Can't say I have seen anything with that finish before. Then again I know nothing about knitting lol.

Want to see the finished item please!

Thanks for popping over to leave your comments they are much appreciated.

I finished moving the last bits and even managed to get it all cleaned and hoovered up yesterday. So all I need to do now is hand the keys in on Wednesday. It'll be sad to leave because I've made some really good friends there.

I will definately show the finished piece and maybe a weekly progress report lol.

Looking forward to seeing the finished item! :)

That's looking great - would love to see it when finished.

I am so rubbish at knitting, haven't done it for about 30 years . . . my mum had an unfinished mohair cardi of mine under her stairs for years after I moved out. No idea what happened to it!

Thanks for taking part in Handmade Monday - and hopefully see you on Saturday at the Warrington Market event x
