Just finished my latest crochet project, a nice warm cardie. This was started months ago, but then languished until recently. Now it’s done, and looking good – just in time for summer! The wool is Classic 8 ply wool from Bendigo Woollen Mills, in Cranberry. I bought 4 x 200g balls, and didn’t have much left over.
It was worked sideways, starting at the centre back. I used a simple stitch combo – pairs of half treble stitches, stacked on top of each other.
The hem and sleeves were finished with a singly row of double crochet, and the front bands are worked in 1dc, 1ch, with the dc worked in the one chain space in succeeding rows (5 rows).
Now I can get on with those crochet squares I’ve been making…
Washing machine update - the new hose arrived and was installed. Machine now working beautifully!
Love BWM's Cranberry. They have some really good reds in the range
ReplyDeleteThe cardi turned out beautifully [ but I expected no less ]
