My Up North Cardigan is progressing really well. It is a very easy crochet pattern and works up so quickly. I think it is the perfect pattern to crochet as a beginner in garment making. I pinned the cardigan together at the shoulders to see how it was looking. I absolutely love it! It is a perfect fit and I am so looking forward to wrapping myself up in the cooler weather. The Bendigo Woollen Mills Bloom 8 ply Marble Statue yarn is looking gorgeous. I have basically finished the main body, one sleeve, and have begun work on the second sleeve.
Even though Miss C has made more complex garments, after seeing mine she has been inspired to make one for herself. She has the Bloom yarn in Plum which she will be starting soon.
We have both been crocheting more Winter Wishes Scarves. One which is almost complete, using Red Heart Aran Charcoal Print. I love the way the variegated yarn has worked up. The other is in Country Naturals 10 ply Toffee. It is such an enjoyable pattern to crochet with a variety of stitches which creates a very textured scarf.
Miss C has started a pair of Rhinebeck Roomies knitted socks using a pattern by the Crazy Sock Lady. She is using a Fiddlesticks yarn that is now discontinued. She has made the large size using 72 stitches and loves the pattern. The last socks she made were using DPN this time she is using circular needles. Aren't the colours just gorgeous?
In addition to our crochet projects we recently made some journals using scrapbooking paper. They were inspired by our favourite podcaster Kathryn of Crafternoon Treats. A lot of fun was had mixing and matching papers and finding embellishments to complete the covers. We are really pleased with the finished products and looking forward to using them. Although they are almost too pretty to use!
Until next week,
Samantha & Miss C
