I finally finished the by . It’s a great classic cardigan to throw on over short sleeves on a cool evening! I have to admit I made plenty of mistakes with this piece. My system for tracking what row I was on was a disaster! Luckily it’s in dark brown so hard to notice! No looking at it up close! I used our Simple Hill Farm fi*****ng yarn in Ancient Oak Brown, a most lovely undyed dark brown from my dark brown merino sheep.

I’m very excited to use this rainy weekend to start my new knitting project! I’ve been planning this one for a while but resisted the urge to start before finishing the cardigan. I’m making the by . I’m using our Simple Hill Farm DK weight fine merino yarn from our flock. I am not putting any mohair yarn with it. Hoping the plant dyed colors will still give it a cozy look! I’ve been block printing lately with natural dyes and was extra excited when I read that the pattern was inspired by a textile designer’s block prints!

Pictures are of the finished cardigan and the colors picked for the new WIP along with a picture of the Djo Sweater from the pattern (ie. not my sweater! I don’t knit that fast!).
