Girls' Cardi - Project #4

I'm knitting this for my Granddaughter who lives in New Orleans.  It's from a Knitsimple Magazine from Winter 2007/2008 (yes, I have magazine's that go back that far that I still look at).
I'm making it out of Blue Sky Organic Cotton and it's working up wonderfully.

I have started the left sleeve (pictured below) and as you can see from the pattern picture it is knit in one piece. 

I don't think I've ever knit anything from side to side before and I'm kind of liking it. 

My Granddaughter has beautiful red hair and I think this color will look so cute on her and because it is made with cotton, she should be able to wear it at least for 4 months of the year down there.

Pinwheel Afghan

Pinwheel Afghan



Here is one of my WIP - as you know (from previous posts) I usually have about 9 projects going at the same time.  This is one of my 9.  I think it's going to be a shop sample, but we'll see how it turns out.  What I mean by that is I'm not really sure I picked the right colors, but I had my husband help me and well, you know, if it doesn't work out I think it might be all his fault (this is where I would put a smiley face, but apparently my Blog doesn't have that option, or I can't see it [which is most likely]). 

This pattern is a Pinwheel Afghan from Oat Couture.  I'm having a great time knitting it, it is not boring or monotonous like some knitting can be.  Changing colors, working the edge and doing short rows is what is keeping it interesting, plus it's going pretty fast, being on a size 8 needle.

I finished my mink scarf.  I soaked it yesterday and now it's in our closet drying.  The closet was the only space I could find long enough to stretch this scarf out.  I'm looking forward to being able to wear it when the weather gets cooler. 

That's it for now - see you soon.
