I think the very long winter kept me crocheting more than I normally do, I had a flurry of orders for pixie style cardigans ranging from adults to babies. I still have not finished, there are three more children's sizes and another adult to go.
The one currently on my hook is orange and black stripes. I had no idea buying orange yarn would be so difficult. Locally there is cheap and nasty scratchy acrylic or not quite orange. So I had to buy online, my only problem with this is not being able to see the actual colour. But thanks to Deramores I got all that I needed.
I have made this cardigan for boys and girls in all different colours. It is so versatile and easily adaptable. Here are a few pics of the ones I have completed.
I have also joined a local "stitch and bitch" group, its an off shoot of a knit and natter as we all work so can not attend a day time group, we are all also about 30 years younger than the other ladies. Its a great evening out. Every Wednesday evening we meet at a local club with our crochet / knitting / sewing and discuss our project and ideas for new things. We have been fascinated by yarn bombing. So much so that we may have a sneaky plan for the summer. It is amazing how people in pubs just accept a group of ladies knitting and crocheting in full view, we have had a few people come to ask us what we are doing but it has all been really positive.
