A Year of Projects Update - week 12

 No update last week as I went to Goodwood in my two handmade dresses!  Unfortunately,  I forgot to take any photos,  so you will just have to take my word for it!

This week I have put in some rows on my Joy cardi by Veera Valimaki,  but again, no photos 😅 

I have been doing something though!  A couple of years ago I knit the festive yoke pullover by Skeindeer knits as a dress.  It was fab, but it was not that flattering.   I realised I was never going to wear it, so I decided to cut it in half and turn the top half into a sweater.

I just adding the bottom ribbing as you can see.  This should be easily ready for Christmas and I may turn the bottom into a cushion cover!
And that is all I have done!  
I hope you have a had a good week 💓

  3. What a great sweater it now makes. Perfect for Christmas/winter. Great idea to use the skirt fabric for a pillow cover.

  4. That sweater is beautiful, Lucy! What a terrific way to save a lot of the work you did.
