Project-a-month resolution: May

It's July already and I haven't posted about May yet. Blogging, work and everything else were overtaken by the recent death of my mother.

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.
