This sweet little cardigan is the fastest thing I've cast on and cast off recently. The pattern is Newborn Vertebrae and it was fast and easy, even with the motif I added from Knitting Stitches Visual Encyclopedia.
The best part is it held my attention, which is how I knitted it so quickly and cast off not too long after I'd cast on. It's so typical for me to become bored and get distrated by another project, and I imagine the sweater's tiny size also helped. Sometimes it's hard to believe I'll soon have someone so small in my family!
On the reading front, I recently finished One Thousand White Women and haven't had a chance to hit the library for my next book. Does anyone have recommendations for similar reads? I'm loving the Native American/Wild West/Pre-1900 genre(s) as of late. Thanks for your recommendations!
I recently joined Goodreads and I'm still filling my queue. Wanna be friends?
Until next time, Happy Knitting, my friends!

Oh, such an adorable tiny knit! The colour combo is scrumptious. Can't wait to see it modeled!

ReplyDeleteAdorable! I'm on Goodreads, as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm Wifemomknitter on there, too.
Don't know if you've read it already, but I liked Jane Kirkpatrick's book "Mystic Sweet Communion", it's historical fiction dealing with women, teaching and Native Americans.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation, Rachel! I just added it to my Goodreads. :)
DeleteHow beautiful this came out.. I wish I could knit like this.. how did you learn?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robyn. I learned from a series of books. There are lots of great resources out there for beginners! You should try it! :)
DeleteI LOVE anything to do with pioneer times/the frontier/the oregon trail. I just finished 'The Diary of Mattie Spenser'. I literally couldn't put it down.
ReplyDeleteThe cat has a little look of guilt on her face.
