Notes

Blossom’s turn for a warm cardigan. I am using up wool from my stash. This time it is sport weight merino. Blossom loves pink so I’ve gathered up,the pinks from my collection and I’ll put them all together with some white and grey in the mix. I’m finding it very satisfying to make warm and attractive garments for my grandchildren from my collection of yarn, rather than buying new yarn every time I want to create a garment.

This project is a lot of fun. I’m really enjoying putting the colours together. The stitch patterns are interesting and grow fast.
I made some extra chain when forming the armholes.

Almost finished. I need to weave in the ends (lots) and sew the buttons on.
Blossom chose the cat buttons from my button stash.

I didn’t make all the rows of the peplum because I ran out of burgundy wool and wanted it solid coloured.

Sadly, this cardigan has some holes in it. Blossom has worn it often but I suspect a mouse has chewed it.
I’m hoping that I can mend it because it is so pretty and she still wore it often.

I have mended the cardigan with a combination of remaking stitches and sewing.
