Classic Cardigan




 I made ANOTHER baby cardigan.  This has been finished for quite a few weeks - I managed to upload the details to Ravelry but had not found the time to blog!

I was trying to destash a few weeks ago and found a couple of balls of Rowan Pure Wool Aran  in the collection.  Usually when a new baby is born I try and find a pattern I like and then buy more wool to knit it - this time I tried reversing this trend by finding a pattern for the wool I already have.  The pattern is 'Classic Cardigan' found in 'The Baby Knits Book" by Debbie Bliss.  Fabulous, simple pattern which looks lovely when done.  It's a quick knit with the aran wool on 4.5mm needles.  I found the buttons at Wonderwool :-)

We're heading to North Wales tomorrow for a few days so I'm spending this afternoon not only packing but choosing specific holiday knitting!  Our cottage is literally in the middle of nowhere so I'm considering making an item from start to finish while we're there.
