i have new work in progress to share – very exciting! since i finished my shawl over the weekend i’ve been thinking about tackling something big that isn’t another shawl. i’ve done 2 now and it’s still not really cold enough to wear either without feeling distinctly uncomfortably – both from prickly warmth and odd looks from people who are still getting the last couple of weeks out of their summer sandals!
and so then – i have just started with this…
my first gauge swatch! i did get really quite excited by the fact that i got the stitch gauge spot on but was a bit off on the row gauge but as i ordered an extra 3 skeins of yarn i’m going to go with it and hopefully end up with lovely cosy cardigan – fingers crossed……
although actually since i’ve just gone onto ravelry to create the project i’m thinking i might re-try the swatch on bigger needles – i could probably do with an extra inch or two width so will re-try tomorrow i think.
only other active wip this week is my bee-keeper – one new favourite hexapuff of the week so far…
not sure how all the colours will fit together yet but i’m still definitely a good way off needing to worry about it – 10 down, at least another 300 to go to get a decent sized quilt!

That yarn is going to be so lovely as a twenty ten cardigan. Veera has such great designs. I love your shawl! It looks so pretty on you. And I am envious of your hexipuffs. I only have three so far but aren’t they the most fun to knit?
That cardigan looks very “you”, if that’s not too presumptive a statement based entirely on your blog posts! One of my real life friends made it, and it’s beautifully funky.
Loving your ‘puff of the week too. I have “square of the week” here….
haha no not at all – if anything i think it means i definitely made a good choice for my first cardi!
i like the idea of “square/puff of the week” posts 🙂
Great cardigan pattern choice and lovely colours on your puff of the week
Cute puff 🙂 I’m trying to resist the beekeeper quilt, I have enough stuff in my queue, but then I see pictures like yours and want to cast on for a puff immediately!
Hooray for a successful gauge swatch!! I did a gauge swatch with some crochet cables the other day and was thrilled to have got it mostly right, too.
I hope your cardigan will be a wonderful project to work on, I love the pattern. 🙂 And that hexapuff is lovely, such soft and subtle colours.
I, too, have caught the hexapuff fever, and I love your little puff! Good luck with both your cardigan and your quilt, I love the yarns.
