The little cardigan is now finished.Yeah!! It actually looks quite good and I am pleased with it and thankfully Darcey likes it.
I have frogged two other things I had on the needles, one because I just wasn't happy with it and the other because I am sure the pattern is wrong.!!
I have now started a waistcoat with a furry collar for Amber, it is a sirdar pattern with cables and it is looking nice I am doing it in some Debbie Bliss merino aran I won on ebay a while ago, I will try to get a picture of the pattern for my next post. Jade also wants one, I haven't knit big sizes for a while so I shall definately be starting something for Gracie as well so I can keep getting a quick fix of a fast knit.lol.
Hubby's boxing club hosted a big show last night, so as I couldn't go I had a friend round and we had an indian takeaway and good chat, haven't done that for ages so it made a nice change. Joe boxed last night and he won which was good.
I shall now try and do a bit more knitting before they come back from Joe's football training.x
I am quickly editing this post to add a picture of the waistcoat I am doing now,

What a girly-girly little sweater! Perfect for tea parties and doing what girls do when they wanna have fun.
I love the fur trim. I have been wanting to do something like that for my little girl for some time now. I will get there eventually.
What a perfect sweater for a little girl. I love the fur trim too. I have seen that pattern that you are knitting up. I am sure I have the book with all the patterns for the aran yarn and I did start a cabled jacket for Isabelle from it. I think it is still sitting in the wardrobe. I cannot wait to see how cute your vest turns out too.
Thanks for the nice comments ladies people can be a bit snobby about fun fur but I really think it can brighten up a kids outfit.
Sue- you probably do have the same pattern book we do seem to have very similar taste in patterns.lol.
I love the cardigan!! The fun fur gives it a little "fun flair" that every little girl loves. Good job!!
I can see why your little one loves the cardi. The color,the style.the fur yarn! So glam she looks like a star!!!!!
