Perhaps. In some things, definitely. For example, with blogging I may be slightly fickle. In my last post I mentioned that just because I’m not posting doesn’t mean that I’m not knitting. I just really want a pretty knitting blog akin to all the ones I read in which people display their beautiful knitted items. I still haven’t purchased a camera, but recently I acquired an iPhone (for school purposes, of course). Thus, I’m able to take some rudimentary photographs of my knitted endeavours.
I’m proud to say that I’ve finished quite a few items since my last post and I’ve tackled a lot of new techniques. It’s easy to be exposed to new things when you’re a relatively new knitter, because every pattern you pick up has something in the instructions that you haven’t come across before.
I’ll be sure to post some of the items that I’m working on, and others that I have finished recently and not too recently.
I recently finished the Chicknits Mondo Cable Cardi in Cascade Yarns colour 2611. I love this sweater! It knit up really fast, especially with the help of the Knitmore Girls Mondo Cable KAL on Ravelry. The only modifications I made to this wonderful pattern is picking up an extra 2 stitches on the armhole, because otherwise I was afraid there would be a bit of a hole on either side under the arm. I don’t know what it is about the way that I knit, but every time a pattern calls for picking up stitches I always need to pick up more than the pattern suggests.
Anyway, here is a couple of pictures of my finished cardi.
Hopefully I will have more pictures of my other newly, and not-so-newly, finished products to share soon.
