This pattern knits from the bottom down for the sleeves and top down for the body. I'm trying to avoid sleeve island by starting with the fun sleeves.

Love the colour, the pattern, and the yarn 🤩

One that is finished, one on the needles and some yarn on the way! 💙

Beautiful yarns, but choose your project wisely as the thickness varies within and between skeins.
Lovely effect, but it can be a problem with getting exact measurements. The size of the squares in this blanket varied by up to 2 cm, so it took some effort to arrange!

Amazing pre-dawn sky at my local beach a few years ago.

This week's theme is cardigans.
The Anny Blatt yarn in this stunning blue shines with this simple MYPZ pattern. Basically, 5 rectangles.

Nothing beats the smell and taste of a #DemocracySausage!

Thanks to all the staff at the AEC.

Thanks to all the volunteers cooking!

This weeks theme is gifts.

After reading posts about creating two right-hand mittens by mistake I have decided to do all the right hands and then all of the left!

Great tip to knit them inside out in the round so the floats aren't too tight!

I have used it as a feature yarn in these blankets but have also seen a heart or star along a scarf. The Noro colours are gorgeous 💖

Time to start my next project!

This Åsa Tricosa pattern is gorgeous! I've knitted twice before in different colour combinations.

This one will be all one colour to let the yarn do the talking with a metallic silver wedge at the end of the sleeves 💙

Ok, here is the finished product.

I love the cute pocket and how the pink pops!

It will soon be cool enough to wear in #Naarm #Melbourne

I love Åsa Tricosa patterns! I'm just about to finish a mash up of her jumper patterns - a pop of pink with a pocket and a wedge in the sleeves 💕

Some baby cardigans I made last winter. A few for a local charity and two for a friends first grandchild.

Balloons!

Gorgeous autumn morning in #Naarm #Melbourne!

Chunky knit!

Finished in time for someone's birthday.

It may not be worn for some time as it will be another day over 30C in #Naarm #Melbourne today!

A family member has just finished months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, so I've had some downtime while waiting.
There was a basket of beanies so people could grab one if needed in the waiting room. So I had time to wip up a few and a jumper for him.

Here's another of her patterns for lighter yarn weight.

You may notice that I like pink! 🧶

Look at this gorgeous squishyness that arrived this week!

I will use this Asa Tricosa pattern, but all one colour with pink for pockets and wedge on the sleeve so it pops.

I love that she encourages you to mix and match the little features in her patterns 🧶💕

This one is really pretty, especially in pink or light tones

You may be interested in Asa Ticosa's designs. All have instructions on darting to fit. Some designs on Ravelry.

Well, it was almost 40C in ##Naarm (#Melbourne) this week and we have smelt bushfire smoke all week.

But my hubby has just started treatment for cancer so I needed a project to keep my hands busy in waiting rooms etc.

💕 the colour and sheen on this yarn!

I love this look and have made three blankets with variations of this theme 💖

On my way home from watching and singing along with Crowded House.

Different, more edgy arrangements, and it is always wonderful to hear the songs written in Melbourne played in #Melbourne!
