Introducing the Delightful Silky Cardigan - Bindi Style














So here it is.... 

the range of sublime bamboo and silk... 


As you can imagine it is soooo soft and squidgy.

I just popped my hand into the bowl of 
deliciousness and there was my choice for the first of many wee cardies....















So here again is the wonderful picture of these such cute cardigans.
I have got the yarn... I have got the pattern
the time is slotting into place
so really really soon
I too will have a line of these hanging in my shop


I can see how beautifully this yarn is knitting up.
I am thinking that a flower here and a flower there on
the ones for the young ladies
Those for the young mans will just speak for them self
not a spot of decoration needed.
 
 

So there it is... number one on the home stretch.
just a few to go
now,
where is that roll of twine, 
I had best get the clothes line all 
ready and strung.

A Plan... This Girl Needs A Plan.....


Look what I found when I went down to the woods library today. 

I found some really amazing books with lots and lots of things 
that I just want to try.  
Some are just perfect for me
 and others just the thing to try out for Pollynanna. 

So anyways I have been thinking to myself - 
how many times do I get out lots of books but
 never ever get a chance to make the bits and bobs
 that made me so excited when I have seen what is on the pages.

So this is where my huge PLAN came to life.
Before the return date comes about I have to make at least
one item from every book.  
What a massive motivational exercise this is going to be. 

So first up is...... 

leafing through the pages I found this.... 





oh wow!.... I need this kinda chic in my home... 
and perhaps a few in my shop to share with everyone who just needs one too... 

So..... 



one journey has begun.... 
I can't believe how fast this one is shaping up.

Of course it would be way too organised for me to finish
something before planning and scheming the next little something.

So....

it was actually this picture I spied in a knitting magazine that 
sent me on my book hunt.


I just love the wee cardigans... I have them all pictured
in my head in the beautiful sublime bamboo/silk yarn that I 
came across a wee while back. 
They will be devine.
The book is Natural Nursery Knits
by
Erika Knight.
What a find - I certainly hope that I will be making so much
more than just these cardigans.

So there is the beginning of my great bit huge plan.
What a wonderful plan it is ... 
and
if
I
pull it off
it will be a magical journey my plan has set me on.
