thank you! I'm very pleased with it. Very easy pattern after getting the set-up rows done for the ribbing and main part, and the yarn looks much better worked than in the skein.Now I'll need to make a nice scarf to go with it, because it's not made to close, and it's definitely a winter cardie.

Speaking of, I did manage to knit my Mom a scarf and a large blanket for Christmas. Very simple stuff for a beginner.
Now I'll need to make a nice scarf to go with it, because it's not made to close, and it's definitely a winter cardie.
It was funny. She opened the scarf, and said it was beautiful. She tried it on, was messing around with it and chatting away. I said "You do realize that is hand made, right?" and she loved that. She asked who made it and I just raised my hand! Part of the surprise was telling her what I've learned and she was really impressed. (I started toying around with yarn in April or so, and keeping it a secret all this time was not easy.)
Then, when the blanket came out, she REALLY liked it and I told her I'd made it too and for a minute she thought I was messing with her. She was like "Oh, yeah, sure" but when she realized I'd made it she loved it even more!

I'm so impressed!
Was it Daisy or Phoebe who took the photo?
That's brilliant! So glad she loves it and appreciates all your effort and learning.
Both of them, in a rare moment of cooperation - their little paws are too small for just one of them to manage my heavy iPad.
I felt what you were feeling as I read that post. Isn't it a huge feeling of pride and satisfaction when you not only complete a project, but gift it? I share in your joy!
Phoebe's being helpful, guarding my new project (a scarf to go with the cardigan).

That scarf will be pre-warmed when ready for use!
LOL yes!
Knitting is helping me after the loss of my Louise 2 weeks ago on Jan 8th.
Here is my pullover I knit during her time of suffering. I finished it over the weekend.Lots of memories ..she 'helped' me knit this as she lay in front of me on the table out on the sunporch when she was feeling up to it.

That is beautiful, and I'm sure holds a meaningful significance for you. The green matches Louise's beautiful eyes.
I had a lovely surprise at knitting on Tuesday. One of the group is an upholsterer and has started making project bags and backpacks from offcuts from her job. I ordered one and bought a canvas-linen mix print material from Etsy - and this is the result! I just love it.
... So does Daisy.

It really came together perfectly purrfectly! I hope the maker does well if she starts selling more bags, because her work is so good.
Comfy supurrvisor.

Oh, I love that! I have so many "black cat" things (towels, shirts, etc.) I've collected over the years due to Goofy and Sarah's litter. It's strange thinking I started out with 4, and now, am down to one.I had a lovely surprise at knitting on Tuesday.
