MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

VOTING RESULTS:
Well, the vote count is in and it 
seems that Option #2 is the 
clear winner.
So....ever a slave to my
readers, I will change my ways.
Please remind me if I happen to forget!

As I mentioned the other day I finished knitting a sweater for our #2 grandson using some of my stash yarn and this is the result...


The pattern is a paid one  -   'Wonder Years' by Elizabeth Smith Knits and can be found HERE.    I used Paton's Canadiana yarn for most of it, but I think the textured/patterned one is Vanna's Choice.  I'm using the same pattern to make one for  #3 grandson (the pattern ranges from size 2T up to 8-10 years) and am currently playing yarn chicken.  Fingers crossed I have enough!

    The cardigan is gorgeous. Love all those shades of blue together. You have such a fabulously co-ordinated yarn stash.

      Thanks Kim! I have no clue why I have so many blues in the right weight for the sweater - can't for the life of me remember what I made from them earlier. They're pretty much used up now.

    Very handsome sweater for your Little. I Love the Piano Bar even though I don’t drink or have my piano any longer. May Flowers are blooming...

      I liked that use for a piano too. My friend has an old piano that's never used and she can't even give it away. Nobody wants them any more.

    What a cute little sweater. All the blues worked really well together. I have to say... while I have no need for a bar, I find that piano bar to be pretty amazing. What a beautiful, fun, and fuctional piece of furniture that turned out to be.

      I agree - I have no need for a bar, but what a great use for a piano. We had a piano when I was growing up and it was never touched. When my parents sold the farm my mother insisted the piano had to move with them and it ended up in the basement gathering dust. They even had to cut a piece out of the rafters in order for it to fit!

    Lovely sweater! Love the different blue yarns. They go together quite nicely. Piano bar was certainly unique.

      Thanks Judy - don't know why I had all those blues in my stash but they worked well for this project.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
