WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO SINCE THE NEC

It took me a while to decide what to knit first, so I crocheted 2 items out of the Arboretum book from Colinette. I crocheted the Cedar scarf and the Wisteria necklace.








I have also started knitting the Rive Gauche cardigan with beads out of the Parisienne book. I have knitted the back, left front and one sleeve so far. For the fronts and the back you cast on 398 stitches onto yarn with 198 beads threaded on to it. It is worth the effort as it looks gorgeous when it is completed. Nearly the finished the last sleeve and just another front and the making up to do including the neck band with more beads on. I hope to have it completed before Christmas.
