Update on some knitting I’m doing Over the last month or so I’ve been knitting a cardigan, I would have finished earlier but I got side-tracked with other things, which have been happening here. I should have it all sewn up and finished by the end of the week fingers crossed, YAY. At the moment I’m just doing the border around the front and back of the neck, see the short video of what it’s looking like. After I’ve finished the border it just needs to be sewn up, I will post again about it when it’s all finished and done.

@kevin1877uk I do a little of everything, afghans, sweaters, slippers, baby items. I need to get back into it cause it does help the income.

That's a really lovely pattern. Aran patterns are interesting to knit, aren't they?

@kevin1877uk There are some crochet stitches too which look much like Aran patterns.

So awesome that you are knitting it! I know how to knit, but it's not my favorite thing, so I keep it simple like making scarves with just knit or knit and perl.

Etsy is going great even in summer which surprised me, I should be in for a good year if it continues, I'm close to what I made on Etsy last year already.

@Hannihar Cabling work does slow you down, well at least me. On the back, I could maybe get 6 rows done an hour, maybe 7 at a push. I think if I remember right there about 180 rows in total for the back
