WIP Wednesday

New cardigan started using this Bestway vintage pattern and yarn swapped with Kathryn of YesIlikethat.
 
I'm determined to crack crochet once and for all, and make a ripple blanket. I've had a couple of skill exchange sessions with my non-knitter friend who has been keeping me right with my crochet. This is based on the pattern from Attic24.

  4. I love ripple blankets! I keep meaning to crochet one myself but I am pretty sure I'd get too bored and it would stay another (large) WIP. The cardigan pattern is great!

  8. I love the cardigan pattern - would love to do a pattern swap for this one day if you are interested? I also love that colour wool, that is the perfect shade I have been looking for - what is the brand? Wool selection over here is rubbish, I have just ordered some online so hopefully it will arrive soon!
    I have never tried to crochet - I really want to learn, just what I need, another hobby :P

  9. That cardigan is going to be so lovely in that color!! You've inspired me to pick up my crochet hook and try and finish a basket that I attempted long long ago. Good luck with the blanket! The colors are marvelous together :)

  10. I love having a go at a vintage knitting pattern - I picked some lovely cardigan (and a knitted suit!) pattern from the Knitting and Stitching Exhibition that I'm just itching to get started with - can't wait to see how yours turns out!
