One very happy person I’m pleased to report that the cardigan I finished knitting on Saturday has been happily received. The lady who was wanting the cardigan was amazing with it and couldn’t stop hugging me, Maybe I should knit for hugs. She was very impressed and it fitted her perfectly. Hopefully, I might get some photos of her wearing yet, she said she would. I did take some more of me wearing it although not the best again with trying to take them on my own, I still need a haircut, though. On to another project I need to finish before I start something else.

@infatuatedbby Not totally sure, I have done a few posts about it with a few videos too of me knitting it. Maybe 6 weeks but it could be 8 because it's been so busy here. I think I could make one in maybe 14 days or less if I didn't have too much on. The lady who was wanting was in no real hurry for it. I'll be posting it as a made to order item in my Etsy store and will make the process time of between 2-4 weeks.

It was so hard to get any ok photos by myself, hopefully, the lady who I knitted it for will take some photo so I could use.

There's been knitting machine around for some years now, but I manually knit, if you were to go through some of my older posts about me making this, you'll come across a few videos of me knitting this cardigan.

Thank you, I'm not totally sure because I was doing other things in between but I did start it about 6 or 8 weeks go, but if I was to do one in a hurry maybe 10 days or so.
