RIP Phildar Cardigan

There's definitely perks of living at home and sometimes there definitely isn't.. Mum threw my Phildar Cardigan in the washing machine, it's now stiff as a board and could fit a 5 year old, but ain't it cute! It made me laugh for half an hour, I didn't like it that much anyway...

Wisteria Faith

I'm currently making the Faith Cardigan from Kim Hargreaves book "The Dark House Collection". It's been fun so far as the lace pattern has kept me intriqued. I am making it with a Moda Vera yarn called Merinos Fine from Spotlight which has been sitting in my stash for a while. Today I finished the back, I'm a bit worried that the cardigan will be a bit short for me but time will tell.

Kim Hargreaves Erin



Rooster Almerino is such a beautiful yarn to work with. It's 50%baby alpaca and 50% fine merino. I'm making Kim Hargreaves "Erin" cardigan from the "Dark House" Collection. I originally purchased 10 skeins from Calico and Ivy in Mosman Park and I'm short a couple of balls. I am waiting for a few more in the right dye lot so I can complete 1/4 of a sleeve and the collar. Here is the photo of the back.
