Weekend Roundup

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Ours was quiet, yet productive. We had dinner at my sister's house on Friday night and that was as much of the outside world that I saw this weekend. I caught up on so many movies that I had wanted to watch while making progress on my wips. I also got my hair done. By My Daughter!!

Inwardly I am crying!

What a fashion statement!
My featherweight cardigan ended up being re-started. The pinks altogether were just too much. I just knew that I wouldn't wear the finished cardigan so I ripped it and re-started adding grey into the mix. I really like how it is knitting up now. Although the pinks are all fancy sock yarns, wollmeise, yarnaddict and knitting goddess the grey is Stylecraft Life 4ply. I use a lot of Stylecraft yarn but I have never tried this one. The verdict is it's the softest yarn I have worked with in a while and much softer than the sock yarns. It is almost like knitting with alpaca. It can be a little splitty, but that is a minor irritation.



I made a little progress on my Tinder cardigan too, but the featherweight took preference over the weekend.


I went to my sister's house for coffee today and we had a little chat about businesses we would like to open. I can't say much, but I am super excited about our idea. It will take an enormous amount of work and more than a little luck, but if we pull it off it will be a dream come true.

Until next time ...
