We are in the middle of a heatwave. The temperature has been around 30°C all week and it’s going to get hotter before some cold air from the Arctic Sea gets here next week. Just as well I just finished a warm cardigan. Hubby was not happy when I ordered him to put the cardigan on and go outside for a picture. He loves the cardigan though and went along with my whims.
I was given this yarn and I don’t know what it is, but it seems quite warm and I’m guessing it has quite a lot of wool in it and a little bit of some other stuff. The pattern is from a Finnish Novita magazine from 2008. I’m pleased how the cardigan came out. Roll on autumn and winter. Or perhaps even next week would do.
Happy knitting!

I love the fit and pattern. I have such trouble knitting garments that fit the intended receiver. Except for socks…they always seem to fit!

I know what you mean. Even with the right gauge and right measurements, the garments simply don’t always fit the way you wanted them to. I was lucky with this one.

What a great knit. That will surely keep him warm. Everywhere is mental hot at the moment. I saw London was 39C today. Has to be the hottest ever recorded there.

Thanks. Yes, it’s like the world’s gone mad. It’s still above 30C here today but by Monday it should take a nose dive and be, according to the forecast, 9C.

The cardigan looks great, and I like this unknown yarn with its blue and red speckles.
It’s only 22 degrees Celsius in Dublin, it seems like it’s one of the last bastions of acceptable summer temperatures. And even with this temperature, it feels very unpleasant because of the humidity.

Thank you. Yes, it’s been madness in most parts of Europe. Today should be our last day of roasting heat. By Monday it should be 9C. Bit of a change in just two days.
