SWEET HEART CARDIGAN

This is another "give-away" cardigan, and yet another People's Friend pattern. The yarn is aran weight which was nice and quick!! I think I will make mock pockets in future as this is what took up the most time when sewing up. I don't think a baby will notice anyway!! I will definitely do this one again, I was pleased with the shape and the collar sits perfectly.

DIAMOND BORDER CARDIGAN

I knit this little cardigan for a friend, the pattern was cut out of People's Friend a couple of years ago!!! I was pleased with the result, although I had just enough wool to cast off the neck, and I like to be certain that I have enough or else I will panic. The body is a little plain and I had intended to crochet a couple of flowers to make it more interesting, but with no wool the same colour, I decided that it was too hard to match up. The funny thing about this peach colour is that when I put on peach buttons, the cardigan seemed more pink and vice versa. I had to search the shops for an in-between which didn't clash!!!

CHRISTENING GIFT

This is a white Emu jacket, although it looks a little peachy. I finished it on 29th May, in good time for the christening.

My aunt asked me to knit this little jacket for a neighbour. The baby girl was small and this is the smallest version of the Emu pattern. The same little girl got the pink picot matinee jacket which was knit for a friends baby, which was a boy, so I'm glad it didn't go to waste!!!
