Today is the first day of Spring. This winter has been long, although not too arduous. No ice storms, only a handful of really snowy days, but still a lot of gray skies. I do love the warmth of winter garments - thick wool sweaters, cozy scarves and wraps. I finished my
Paloma yesterday after going to Soper Creek Yarn to get buttons. The buttons are old-fashioned, remind me of 'dad' or 'grandpa' sweaters, and I love the way they look on this thick, textured cardigan. The pockets are lovely too, with a bit of extra detail on them. They're deep so they might actually be useful!

A few more WIPs to finish and then I can cast on a new project. I have many queued, with the yarn to go with many of them but I'm resisting the temptation to start something new until the lingering things are done: "Finish what you start" is my current mantra.
oh wow, that cardigan looks so cozy and comfy and perfect... I bet it feels like a dream! Great colour, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It does feel great. I think it will be a great transition piece as we move into spring... A good outer layer when it's warm enough to go without a coat but not quite warm enough for a lighter sweater. Ready for that kind of weather now!
ReplyDeleteYour cardigan looks excellent and a very versatile colour too.
