This morning I sat in front of the washing machine, never loosing sight of the “bull’s eye” … 600 rpm spin speed … a hand knitted cardigan inside … nerves all on edge … 🙂 Luckily, all went well.

I am sure you have been there before.

It has been a while since I knitted a garment. Even longer since I knitted something for myself. Scarves, wraps, monsters, wrist warmers, blankets for others? Yes. Something for me? Not really.

Until now.

Now, a cardigan – the color of dark plums and knitted in garter stitch with a leaf pattern on the yoke – is recovering on a big towel. As soon as it is dry I will show pictures.
