Vanilla Babies

I have been knitting non-stop.

I miss my sewing,

but I really want

to get this done.

I had back and two fronts

ready for this cardigan

for over a year now.

(who said I never finish my projects?)

It's the softest aran wool

by Debbie Bliss in lush

charcoal color.

I love the sheen of it.

So I sewed the parts and

am now working on a shawl collar

in soft cream.

I never follow a pattern.

I have something in mind

and I make a sketch of how

I want it to be.

But most of the time

I don't even stick to that. 

I keep changing shapes

and finishings, always based on what I

already have.

Most of the times it turns out right.

Or as I always put it:

it always turns right, because I

remake it as many times

needed to get it right.
