Blogtoberfest Day 19- PROGRESS

Blogtoberfest Day 19

I have been progress on my selfish knit in the past week!



I have finished the whole top, all the ribbing, and now i just have to knit down and increase every second row! easy? YES! But its going to be a bit tedious from now on i think, and the rows are just going to keep getting longer and longer........

I have tried it on through and it fits perfectly! i am so stoked, so that is egging me on to get it finished because i WANT TO WEAR IT!!! haha

The extra motivation is the Morag from Vintage Purls ( the yarn i am using and the Knit-along i am taking part in) is going to give away a prize to be drawn from everyone who completes their cardy by the end of November. I plan to finish long before that, I'm giving myself another 2 weeks as then i have Christmas knitting to do!

Blogtoberfest Day 3 Something for ME!

I never EVER knit for myself. I have only ever made myself 2 headbands and 1 shawl, although i knit things for others all the time. I thought it was time for something for me!!!!

Over on the Vintage Purls group on Ravelry, we all decided to take part in a VP Lace knit-a-long (KAL) and i decided to knit a "Wispy" Cardigan.

This is what it will look like when its finished

And here is what mine looks like at the moment.
I'm using the "Bluebottle" colourway and it is just gorgeous.

Ive never knitted with 2ply lace before so it is slow going but is going to be totally worth it when it is done :)
