2018 minus One Month - Part 2


I was plodding away nicely with ‘Crystal Christmas’ up until  March / April, when I was finding stitching in 36ct evenweave a little hard going.


 

Under normal circumstances I actually prefer evenweave or linen but I was going through a stressful time, as my eldest brother Keith was told he had terminal cancer.
  
Sadly, he passed away at the end of April, just seven weeks after the diagnosis, so as you can imagine, I was finding it difficult to concentrate on such intricate work.


RIP Keith

Instead, I turned my trusty knitting needles again and started making a little cardigan and although the colour was a little dark, (it looks grey here but it's on olive green) I thought it would be cosy and snug for the Autumn and Winter.




The pattern is King Cole 4647

I also got my King Cole Baby Book 7 out and made her this little cabled cardie with matching cosy hat.






Happy Crafting!
(Whatever you passion may be)
