Last week my family was lucky enough to welcome the arrival of two new baby girls – my sister's, and my sister-in-law's. Suffice it to say that my baby knit list, or at least, baby knit wishlist is growing by the day.
I managed to finish this cardigan this week, so it's on its way to one of my nieces, and I'll cast on a second very soon. The pattern is this free one from Norwegian company Drops, and I used alpaca yarn. It's a cleverly constructed garment, knit from one side to the other seamlessly, and uses short rows for shaping.
The original pattern calls for three colours to create vertical stripes which I think looks cool, but I wanted a more neutral cardigan so went for a soft grey yarn with coconut-shell buttons. Couldn't resist a bit of wool embroidery though.

I have a very lovely book giveaway coming up, so call back later this week for that (especially if you're into delicious food, photography and gardening).

I listened to this album a lot while knitting – it's a treasure and I recommend it to you too if you like beautiful music.
