too many choices

As I have said many times before I love a cardigan


There are just too many out there that I want to knit at the moment


And now I am moving away from thicker yarn - which means a longer drawn out knit, perhaps a good thing but not perhaps for this impatient knitter.

First there is Georgia - from the very talented knitter Jane - my needles and I - which myself and my friend Marg and going to knit along together but the yarn we want is on back order so that is a while away yet.

Then there is Hay - by Veera Valimaki- which fits the bill for some of the growing stash of Madelinetosh that is needing to be used up.

Then there is Audrey in Unst by another favorite designer of mine- Gudrun Johntson - who writes such good patterns, did you see her fantastic photos from her trip to Scotland in the last little while - so cool.

And also by Veera there is Celery another sock yarn cardigan in a great shape.

I am also entranced by Cecily Glowik MacDonald at the moment- her eye for detail and form - Candelia above is gorgeous

and another by Cecily - Goodale

ok ok I will stop - soon

then I found

Daffodil - by Orianna Eklund - in my favorite TANGO!!!!!!  And just look at that image - my idea of summer - frock and cardie

with some really daggy cool hipster sandals to match

A Cardie in search of Buttons

Finished - Tea Leaves in Madeleinetosh DK Venetian colourway

This was a fun knit and in praise of plain - there was a lot of plain knitting - it sort of reminds me of citrus shawl that Lyn finished last week.
But it was a soothing knit a bit like a good strong cup of tea.

Now I am having trouble choosing the next project to cast on....

I am having a small give away - a cone of red - I think 3/4 ply slightly fluffy leave a comment telling me what you might do with it - the more obtuse the better and it could be yours - decided by next weekend

and there has been a flurry of sock knitting here too - with one of the 'loving myself sick patterns complete'  now to rib like the blazes so I can lace again 

But wait there is more

There is the whole section of tango cardigans that I completely forgot about

1.  Peasy

2. Jacket for Everyone

and I forgot a few others

3. Manon

4. Kingscot 

5. Diminishing Rib Cardie

6. Minimalist 

7. Pas de Valse

 

and I must not forget  either Featherweight or Mountain view - of which I have seen some delightful and inspiring projects underway in the past little while.

perhaps there is a theme here - I love a yoke and I am tending to think more about wear and the challenge of construction.  Which gives out the challenge or the finished garment.  How much does this effect your choice of garment?
