I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer. I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore
Although I do have some finished items to share, I decided to talk about a work in progress I've got going at the moment. It'll be short and sweet but I wanted to do it because I'm very excited about it.
This is my Lauriel cardigan. I've knitted this pattern before but it wasn't for me. Fast forward a few years and I decided to knit it up again, but this time I get to keep it. I'm really enjoying working on it. I've had a break from it over the last couple of weeks in favour of sewing, but last night I made some real progress on it.
Check it out! Before I picked it back up this weekend I hadn't even finished the yoke... I love the leaf motif (ooo, look, it rhymes!) and I'm very pleased with how much stitch definition this yarn is showing.
Plus, short row sleeve caps will never cease to amaze me! Just have a look at that. It's a thing of beauty. Not only that, I have an absolute blast working short rows. Just can't wait to have a denim blue cardigan added to my wardrobe. It'll go with absolutely everything.
Hopefully I'll get loads of it done next week: can't ignore my knitting to go sewing if we're camping, can I? Although I'll be cutting up a Colette Laurel tomorrow, if everything goes to plan but shhhhh! Don't tell my knitting!
