A belated Merry Christmas! With all the festivities I didn't get a chance to do my usual Christmas post.
I've been knitting. A lot. And loving it!
This is my first knitting success story. Most arty/crafty stuff comes pretty naturally to me, but not knitting - I've had to really work at it. But finally it's paying off :)
The pattern is "Annie" by Tikki. The yarn is "luxury" in the colour lavender from Bendigo Woollen Mills.
I learned so much knitting this cardigan and the end result far surpasses what I thought I was capable of. Thanks be to God, my help and inspiration!
This cardi used just over 1x 200g ball of yarn and the buttons were from my stash, which makes the total cost about $15 AUD, what a bargain! OK, lots and lots of hours but so little money.
I've already ordered yarn for my next cardigan, this time for my eldest daughter and I must admit I'm feeling quite impatient for it to arrive so I can get started, I'm so loving knitting right now!

Kelly,
The cardigan is beautiful! You are definitely a knitter.
I started a cardigan in the spring thinking I could take my time knitting it as there's a lot of time until the cold weather. I think I'd better get it out and continue knitting. Your success has inspired me.
God bless and Merry Christmas!
Great job Kel! You are most certainly a knitter! I love Bendigo wool - so cheap and great quality too.
