Current Projects, a short sleeved cardigan from the pattern shown below the pictures.








 Watched TV while I was knitting for most of this.  Found, for some reason, I started knitting both of the front sides at once, doing a few rows on one piece then a few rows on the other side.














Used markers for the first 100 rows on the back as can be seen, seem to make it easier to knit all pieces with the matching amount of rows.




Used safety pins to pin in the sleeves.  Started doing back stitch, (used back stitch to successfully sew shoulder seams), but then undid what back stitch I had done on the sleeve seams and started sewing them up from the outside using mattress stitch.

   Have started another jumper, a long sleeved one. Am using yarn I bought a long time ago.  With this practice, I hope I will eventually be able to start knitting for some family members.

  A few photographs of beautiful roses in the garden.  With have had some lovely sunny  days in the last few week, there have been a couple of showery days.  Cloudy but warm at the moment. The sun is trying to break through.
