I’m going to be an auntie! My sister<\/a> is expecting a little girl at the beginning of September. So I thought I had better stop procrastinating and actually cast on for the baby cardigan I had been planning. I started at the beginning of last week, and it is coming along quite well.<\/p>\n

The pattern is a free one and is available from here<\/a>, but I am doing icord edging and ties. I am using 2.5mm needles and KnitPicks Comfy Fingering<\/a>, 75% cotton, 25% acrylic. The main colour is Hollyberry, with icord trim in Ivory. I am making the 1 – 3 month size just in case she is big and doesn’t fit the newborn size at all, or I am slow and miss the newborn size! I decided to do some of the edging before embarking on the sleeves to check how it would come out. I had a bit of a moment earlier this week when I got a bit clever for myself with the front shaping and had to undo it all, but apart from that it is coming along well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
