Summer Knits: 7. Giving It Some Body

We've recently taken our third and final weeks break for this year and that means more knitting! Joe took the opportunity to crack on with the toddlers cardigan he's been working on. He's now finished the shoulders, separated off the sleeves and is working his way down the body. It's really starting to take shape now.


Meanwhile my cardigan now looks like this:


Finished, blocked, ends tucked in and being worn. I'm really pleased with it (*does a little happy dance*). I have to admit though, that I've yet to sew on any buttons because I'm being very indecisive over which buttons to use. That doesn't stop me wearing it though.


While it's not the most complicated pattern I've followed, it's certainly the finest wool I've ever used (3ply). I've only used 254g of the 500g I bought (ebay bargain!) which leaves me wondering what to do with the rest. First though, there are plenty of smaller projects in the pipeline...
