FO: Sparkle Cardigan
Posted by: Vicky on: 10 May, 2009
I finished this cardigan a few weeks ago now, but have only just taken a photo of it.
The pattern comes from the Rowan Classic book 16 and is knitted with Rowan Silk Wool DK in Bramble. The wool was nice to knit with, although had a few lumps in it where it hadn’t been spun [...]
On my own…
Posted by: Vicky on: 21 February, 2009
On my own today. Mum and Dad have gone to visit my Grandmother for the day and so it’s just me and the dog. I always think that on days like this, I’ll be able to do loads, plus have some “me” time. But it’s now 4 o’clock and my to-do list is still looking [...]
FO: Cropped Cardigan
Posted by: Vicky on: 18 April, 2008
Here’s the cropped cardigan that I finished recently. It’s knitted on circular needles, top-down, in one piece so no need for seaming and I made it with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky which I’d bought half price in a John Lewis sale.
I followed the designer’s suggestion for a smaller neckline as most people on Ravelry were [...]
Back on track and feeling brave
Posted by: Vicky on: 31 March, 2008
I have been feeling pretty sorry for myself the past few days as I started to come down with a cold on Thursday. I wasn’t desperately ill but you know what it’s like when you feel congested and headachy and generally a bit yuck. So I didn’t venture out of the house at all [...]
The Starsky and Hutch cardigan
Posted by: Vicky on: 30 December, 2007
Well here it is… the finished item. My brother went back this afternoon to celebrate New Year with his girlfriend and other friends, so I grabbed a picture of it before he packed it.
The size was fine in the end… a big relief! It was quite a labour of love, but enjoyable nonetheless. [...]
Starsky cardigan almost done
Posted by: Vicky on: 20 December, 2007
The Starsky cardigan is so nearly finished. I have to have it done and wrapped before my brother comes home on Sunday, so tonight is going to be a marathon knitting night I think. Thank goodness Bones is on, and I have lots of programmes still to watch which Dad recorded for me [...]
Back to the cardi
Posted by: Vicky on: 2 November, 2007
I’m back knitting the cardi again. Got about half of the other front piece done last night, which was a satisfying chunk. Might even be able to finish the piece tonight, although I have some stuff to prepare from tomorrow, including practising for my singing lesson, writing up some guitar music and we’re putting on [...]
I’m a published writer..!
Posted by: Vicky on: 1 July, 2007
A couple of months ago, in an issue of Simply Knitting magazine, they published a reader’s letter from an older knitter who was complaining about the modern patterns featured in the magazine. Included was a photo of her favourite 20 year old fair isle jumper which she still liked to wear and which she [...]
Cardigan progress

I haven’t written much about the cardigan on my blog, I suppose because I started and stopped it before I began this blog.
I saw the pattern for it at a craft fair in Exeter, back at the end of September. I was at the point in my knitting career where I wanted to stretch [...]
