Lately it appears that I haven’t been making much, this isn’t the case. The problem is I’ve been making gifts and want them to be a surprise to the recipients. Of course I’ve been taking pictures, even writing up posts, but they will have to wait until I’ve given the gifts.
Meanwhle, I started a sweater for myself. The Hitofude cardigan. A lightweight lacy cardigan. On New Years I went into what will no become my new/old LYS. The Altered Stitch. New owners bought this store and renamed it. This is walking distance from my house but I haven’t gone there in years. But now, a whole new vibe, great yarns and nice people.
The pattern called for Madeline Tosh Merino light.
I was happy to look at other yarns, but this store now carries Madeline Tosh yarns! Along with other quality yarns. I can get the cheap stuff online – thank you very much.
I wasted no time casting on. I’m loving the yarn and the project. Oh I also had to buy a new Addi Turbo needle, because I stayed there to knit and had brought the wrong size needle, oh well, it’s been a long time since I’ve got any new Addis.
The color here is way to blue, but as you can see, the sweater has grown rapidly.
A lot of progress, the color is most accurate in the first photo.
Another project that I have started, it’s for an instagram swap. We are asked to share progress without giving away what the object will become.
I need to gift these items soon, or else make things that I can share freely.

A yarn store within walking distance of your house sounds like it could be pretty dangerous! 😉
Lol, it wasn’t a problem when I didn’t like the store, but now, yes it will be a problem. I’ll just have to exert self control.
