Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Amethyst Days

I spotted this knitting pattern and had to try it. I would not normally make a baby garment in an aran wool but just loved the shape. I used Drops Big Merino wool and it is wonderful for stitch definition.
 
The waistcoat is knitted from the top down and EVERY row is different while you are increasing. I ripped it out three times. The most annoying bit was finding that I had changed the direction of one of the cables about 6 inches back. AARGH!!
 
It was worth it though because I love he finished version. I bought 4 balls of wool but only used 3 so I will buy some more and make another one.
