I love the colour purple and while out shopping one day a few months ago with Jennifer, our second daughter, I came across this lovely yarn and contrasting multi coloured yarn in a large store called The Warehouse.
When I had finished the last knitted garments I set out looking for a pattern to knit a cardy for our grand daughter Evelyn.
I couldn't find anything I wanted so I ended up using basic instructions from an old pattern and adapting what I wanted to do with my design into the pattern.
Because it is acrylic rather than wool it is a light yarn in weight, so there is more quantity in the ball. I had leftovers so then I set out to find and adapt another old pattern to make the little bootee shoes.
The yarn was Knitwise pricewise
'Hero' - Purple Blossom as the main colour and
'Hero Tones' - Lilac Mist for the contrast.
And the buttons...came from my button container.
I love the colour and I'm crafting something with purple yarn at the moment myself.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty cardigan and I love the little shoes.
