A different kind of twinset.

Today I have organising the large amount of vintage knitting patterns I seem to have gathered, I truely didn't realise there are so many. Here is one of my favourites picked out from today. I like that it is a waistcoat and jacket, a nice change from the jumper and cardigan twin set. I don't think the shade of blue would suit me. I would love to be able to make this, alas small wool and small needles I have such a struggle with.

Chunky Teal Cardigan.

Finally here are the pictures of the cardigan I made over Christmas.

      My flash makes the colour apear blue but it is acually the same shade as shown left

I didn't follow the pattern completely, I changed a few things. I choose to have a large ribbing at the bottom of the cardigan.

   
But stayed with the moss stitch for the cuffs and colar.

 The pattern I used was Wendy Pampas 5316.








I am so pleased with how it has turned out that I have now started making another in white, unfortunally won't be able to continue until my hand is better. This time I am going to do the moss stitch, so that both cardigans are noy idenitcal, but will still not add the pocket flaps, the are just cosmetic and not actual pockets.

I love it and I hope you like it too.
Have a cool weekend friends.
