Gwen Cardigan

Finally , I’ve got this Gwen Cardigan done.


I love it, although my sewing wasn’t that great in the underarm part, but, I think I will just leave it like this.

It looks quite good on Erika as well, I think I just love pink so much that I think Erika looks good on pink as well.

The pattern is very easy to knit, and I love Debbie Bliss’ patterns because they are mostly quite simple the design and technically not too difficult for knitters.
she is happy to wear this cardigan! Picture with motion feel…!

I also love the yarn that I used: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino aran, it’s soft to touch and very stretchy too.

The size for this cardigan is for 6-9 months , but seems like my 3 months old daughter fits this well NOW.
Wow, probably I shall change a bigger size for my next project for her.

At the same time, I want to post this blanket here as well. IT’s another hand knit from my Aunt Elsa, she did a very perfect job here. THe pattern is from one of my Japanese knitting book. I just love it, the yarn that she used is Japanese cotton yarn, with sheen effect.

Thanks Auntie Elsa!



Debbie Bliss’s Gwen cardigan

I bought the “Cashmerino Collection by Debbie Bliss from Knitting Garden, and I was so excited to start the new project : Gwen.

I finally get started, the size for the cardigan is for 6-9 months, and the yarn is Cashmerino DK, it’s very soft and just great for babies.

I love pink, so, I chose the darker pink from Debbie Bliss Cashmerino , and also use some light pink yarn from the Japanese yarn that I bought a week ago. This is merino wool yarn from Nikke Victor Yarn, I bought this discount yarn from a local yarn store in First Markham Place. It was originally $14 for a ball, now, 75% off that, can you resist not to buy it? NO!

Anyway, I hope I can finish this soon, I already did the back and the left front.

I love this color combination , I am a truly PINK LOVER!
