Annoying

I'm extremely annoyed with Instagram's decision to present posts not on a timeline, but according to some logarithm based on my "likes".

So I'm having a go with Ello, but there's not much action going on there. Not for knitters anyway. Oh well.


I'm working on my second Drops Belle cardigan. I bought this yarn when the yarn quality was introduced, and I started a cardigan following a pattern. Which is not my cup of tea. Amazingly it turned out too big. Much too big. Hence the five skein ball of yarn.


The yarn has been resting since. A couple of years, actually. But now I finished one cardigan in the grey colourway, and - since I haven't got the right buttons to finish-finish-finish - I started the sunshine yellow one.


I really like the lace panel. I found it in a Flax and twine post (see below), that I pinned on Pinterest (another social media with a very annoying flow). It is so easy and yet it looks beautiful.

Edit's slightly bigger blue cardigan

Dear grand daughter E has outgrown the brown cardigan I made for her this spring. So I made a bigger version. Enough to last for the winter, I presume. Though she might need something in wool as well, I think.

There are some small differences. Both the body and the arms end with ribbed knitting. But the yarn is Drops Paris, just as the brown one.

The raglan is thinner, with only one stitch in between.

The buttons are from Strikk.

Savoy cardigan

So, again there is that steeking part...


Figure why I want to call the cardigan Savoy?
