Hooray 🙂 The baby cardigan is finished!
I can’t begin to tell you how relieved I am about this. Towards the end of the make I remembered why I don’t knit much. I really do not like doing button bands and sewing all the bits together (and yes I know that sounds a bit weird given how much I love sewing).
I also remembered that when I was younger I used to give my Mum the finishing off job to do. She used to do it brilliantly too – thanks Mum 🙂
Are there any bits of your hobbies that you really don’t enjoy?
Until next time,

This is lovely, you’ve done a great job! I feel the same, sewing up knitting can go so wrong just as it’s nearly finished. I discovered a baby jacket pattern by Elizabeth Zimmerman that you knit all in one which solves the problem 🙂
it looks lovely you did a great job! Although I could sit and embroider for days, if I’m making something on the machine that requires a bit of handsewing, I really hate those stages. Strange!
This is sure to become a loved treasure… beautiful.
Like you, I enjoy the knitting part but not the finishing off. But it’s brilliant when it all comes together and it’s a success. Your wee carry is lovely Chris. Well done you.
I have never liked the finishing off part of knitting either, which is why I have a nearly finished jumper that has been sitting in my knitting bag for about three years!!
Love your finished cardi.
Know exactly what you mean – the exciting bit is starting the project, the closer you get to the end the more my interest wanes! It looks gorgeous though, well done. That will be a happy little lady.
P.s. I’m giving away 2 tickets to the London knitting and stitching show on my blog – thought you might be interested 😉
Very pretty Chris – you have made a good job of it.
This is such a pretty little cardigan! I used to knit, but like you, I wasn’t keen on the finishing off. I’m not keen on sewing in the ends after tatting either, so I try to do them as I go along now.
