Granny Drops a Clanger

'I think I may have singed one of your crochet blankets'. Best line ever in a TV series. .

Just about to commence button sewing on the gorgeous 'Cosy for cold days' cardigan originally from December 1951 and in the wonderful book 'Timeless Tyrolean Knitwear' by Linda Ivell ❤️ Have a swipe to see the original magazine cover, the recreation from the book and a close up of my bobbles! The wool is Fiona, an ebay purchase and a great brick red. I don't have enough to finish the sleeves so will these in a bright navy/teal which I've coordinated with buttons. Then I have to learn how to embroider on for the first time! I like to get the button bands and kneckbands knit and stitched and out of the way so that the final leg of the project is the sleeves. Just like the way you eat Mars bars its personal preference 😜💃

Samhain blessings everyone. Sitting in having quoffed some morning Cava! , whilst the sun has started to shine on the Pembrokeshire coast. Joyous way to enjoy autumn (and a holiday!) and the clocks going back.💕 Looking forward to seeing whoever can make 17th November meet up at Speedway . DM for details X
