Pink cardigan


This is a very quick knit, relaxing to do.* It's sized for msd but I find it fits the smaller sd better. I do use the same size needles and weight of yarn as the pattern. Maybe the Shetland is looser?


* But it took me almost a month to finish it! The pieces all knitted but left lying around unsewn. I must get back to sewing up and adding buttons/fastenings immediately I finish knitting again!

But I did feel like doing plain knitting so I made 6 sixth scale/Blythe size sweaters, using left over sock yarn!! :)
Polly is wearing one and the sixth is still on the needles.
