I’ve been doing quite a lot of knitting recently – but I’ve also been forgetting to take photos of the cardigans before giving them to my granddaughters. Anyway, the photo below is of my most recent one. I used Paintbox yarn for it, and the others, and it seems to survive the washing machine, always a bit of a worry if you haven’t used the yarn before.

As little girls have been growing faster than I can knit I’ve made the cardigan in a larger size, this is supposed to be for a seven year old but I think it’ll just be a wee bit too big for Isobel, the four year old. The pattern I used is from a book published in 1987. The Country Diary Book of Knitting by Annette Mitchell. Back then Country Diary (of an Edwardian Lady) things were everywhere.
