A CARDIGAN FOR MYSELF...

Another old project is done, this one I started years ago

It is knitted in two different colors of a "Kauni" effect yarn, 100% wool.

 The wool felt a bit scratchy when I knitted it, 

but after a soak in the special wash "Soak" 

it is nice and soft and smells wonderful. 
Here it is with buttons on, found in my mom's old box.
You can find the pattern here

In need of something easy to knit after I  finished the cardigan this weekend,
 I knitted these two hats  from wool found in my drawer. 
A skein merino wool and some leftover
 "Noro silk garden". 

It is blooming in my window and spring colors on my table

but it is cold and a little bit of snow and ice outside.

Enjoy your week!

moms pile of buttons.
