What I'm Crafting On

Can 'craft' be a verb, do you think?

For the sake of my post title, I do hope so!

What I'm crafting away on at the moment is a lovely knitted cardigan for my dear and lovely Mama. I bought the yarn from a lovely yarn store in a small town down south of WA while holidaying there with Mum.

A sample had been knit up using the yarn and a feather'n'fan stitch in to a glorious blanket Mum particularly adored. Hmmm I know a pattern for cardigan entirely in feather & fan! So thus I commenced on my first Liesl, one of Ysolda Teague's wonderful patterns I've danced around for a long time now; admiring and enjoying others' knitted versions on Ravelry.



I have knit a little further than the picture above, and am thoroughly enjoying it. The feather and fan pattern is repetitive enough to memorise easily and I can almost knit the lace row without looking, so it's okay for social outings too.

The colours of this Sirdar yarn are gorgeous, and such fun to see row by row which shades will emerge and how they will blend or contrast with the preceding row. The rainbow parts are some of my favourites :)
