Knitting!

I finished the birthday cardi (version 3!) in plenty of time. Well not quite finished after all. I now have another much prettier green button to replace the boring black. And one of my crafty friend suggested lining it! I thought, "what a great idea" so now have been on ebay for several hours looking for some suitable stretch jersey fabric. 

At least the fit is pretty good.....

Now I want to make her a little dress/vest for over t-shirts.

I'm quite taken by these two below....both by Tora Froseth Design.

 

Little Sister dress above and Sweetheart dress below.

 

But then I got a bee in my bonnet to make up my own pattern as I am obsessed by lace and lacy edges at the moment. So I knitted a very cute shell lace around the neck and almost all of the yoke before I realised it was going to be sized for about a 6 month old. GAH. If I had just done a couple of calculations before I started it would have been fine. Never mind. I have cast on again and by this time next week I'll be back where I was! Hopefully my calculations are ok as maths isn't exactly a strong point.
