Before Mum became ill, I did finish the red tweed cardigan:
It's a Jo Sharp pattern knitted in Morris Woollahra 10-ply. |
The pattern was easy to follow, and while I'm pleased with the actual knitting – it's neat, and I managed to finish it nicely – the fit isn't perfect. It's slightly too big for me, so I dunked it in hot water then rinsed it in cold to see if I could shrink it a bit. That worked to an extent, but the shoulders are still a little too Schwarzenegger for me, so I might have to unpick the shoulder seams and bring them in a bit. Sigh.
That's all for this post. Back to normality soon, I hope.
