I've failed. For a week now I have been trying to figure out how best to knit up some yarn that I bought on sale. I tried several different patterns, but with my limited needle collection, I could never get my gauge right! Plusthe yarn is a bit different than what I am used to working with. It's called Just Bamboo by Sirdar. It's a silky, flat yarn and I just couldn't get it to knit up nicely.
Then I remembered something .... crochet! Of course this was the immediate answer. I really wanted to knit up the Miette Sweater as it's a cute cropped cardigan, perfect for my vintage dresses. So now I am working on a crochet version of the cardigan. Don't expect a pattern, but I might write up a tutorial of how I went about making it.
I am working on the waistband right now, and it's coming along quickly. I forgot how nice and quick crochet is! So now hopefully by the end of the month I'll have another new sweater!
On and a note of the burgundy sweater I shared with you last week .... i have yet to wear it. The sweater really only looks good with a full skirt, and the circle skirt I was working on failed ... or I failed. It's now going to be a different type of skirt, not quite a circle skirt and I'll have to make a petticoat next! Photos soon I promise! As i said yesterday, sewing takes a bit more time as I can't do it while looking after the wee ones!
