After I finished my shawl, I started knitting a little cardigan for my grandson. I found the pattern in a vintage catalogue from my mother. I already used several patterns from this catalogue for my own children about 35 years ago. I love to knit cable stitch, it's so easy and gives an impressive result. The yarn is baby alpaga.
Most of the time I knit very early in the morning together with drinking my tea. Then comes coffee time and quilting... well, in between a little housework!
I am finishing the last six blocks of my Double Four Patch top. After this, I will prepare the tutorial as promised!
What a nice cardigan you are knitting. Your grandson will look grand in it. Your patchwork is also coming along nicely too.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little sweater! Cables are my favorite thing to knit.
ReplyDeleteI like the sweater, the wool looks super soft.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lovely quilt, I started a hexagon quilt almost two years ago, but I've been ignoring it for a while now. I must get it finished, I do enjoy adding to it but it feels like very slow progress
Oh, to have time to knit and quilt! I love what you are working on - the cardi looks so soft and cuddly!
ReplyDeleteThe cardigan is lovely. It will be so soft in baby alpaca. I look forward to your tutorial. I really want to learn to quilt.
