April 2020

April was interesting. 

This month I decided to cast on a new sweater, I feel determined to knit something I might actually wear sometimes. The sweater I chose is The Daily by Andrea Mowry, it's just so popular, how can something be popular if it's not great for the masses, right? OK so since the So Faded I made didn't have enough ease for me, I am going for extra large to be super roomy. Fingers crossed.

As there was a discount code offered, I also picked up the pattern Comfort Fade Cardi by Andrea Mowry and I have selected some yarn colourways that make a fade that I hope apply the lessons I learned when attempting the So Faded pullover. I studied everyone's Ravelry projects like it was homework, determined to understand why some work and some don't.

I have Cute April House and a little Harepril completed on my two ongoing calendar cross-stitch calendars. I'm really really not sure about having enough contrast on the Cute Animals. Stop now and cut my losses? Try again on another fabric? What to do.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
