Still with the frigging cardigan !

I spent all day Apr 3, my birthday, knitting. Still working on the Hip To Knit cardigan. Have FO'd the left front and the back. It is looking pretty cute. I think I messed up a decrease stitch, tho but might be able to hide it later. Also, started the Martha poncho, but I dont think I like the chenille I am using so might start over with something else.

But it shrunk a little and I actually like the fit better now. I love this pattern. It

I think I will defo make it again but with a little more coverage over my sagging you-know-whats :) This is Cleo

Clapotis Done !!

My Clapotis is finished! I love this pattern. I love this garment. It is so versatile. I made mine out of a beaded rayon which knit up just beautifully and drapes perfectly. I'd like to make another out of a wool, silk blend next for warmth. This particular clapotis will be perfect for spring and autumn. Clapotis makes me happy !
