Finished objects abound! First of all, I whipped up this little beauty in Vintage Hues. I used Ann Budd's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns (there's a great investment if ever) and made the yoke sweater, obviously into a cardy. Personally, I think it is one of the most useful things I've made...except for the Peter Heater perhaps.
I shortened the sleeves to 3/4 length as I always wear them pushed up anyway. Just saves me the effort. Knit in the round, garter st borders easy peasy.
I've also whipped up a metre scarf for the Aussie World's Longest Scarf Record attempt. Yes, it was incredibly boring! However, once all the scarves are in, they will be sewn into blankets for the homeless. What a great idea.
A chemo cap flew off the hook rounding off my productive week. Now, time to cast on again!

I can see why you are in the Sext Knitters Club ROFL
Love the cardi. I don't think it would do the same for me :)
Love the cardi! Another reason why I love vintage hues (or as I call it, fake noro). Is that also a Sizzle I spot?
Vintage Hues is lovely - and your cardi is gorgeous! Do you find this yarn itchy scratchy next to your skin?
Oh yes, the cardigan is lovely!!! Very 2 1/2 Men last night t-shirt!!!
Isn't the Ann Budd book great? I love mine!!
I LOVE the cardigan that you made. I wish I had similar accessories to make my sweaters look as nice.
Hehehe...you knitters are so funny!
Yes, it is Sizzle underneath. No, I don't find VH irritating and I have sensitive skin. Very 2 & 1/2 men! Heide...wonderbra LOL!
Hi Miss D here.... if I get you some pink wool, could you please knit me a cleavage like yours? :)
Dear Miss D,
I'm fairly sure you are more than adequate in the cleavage department, but give me a week or two and I'll see what I can whip up.
Nice colours, nice cardi, nice rack.... :o)
