Baby Duck Cardi

Another little project for NGH.

I saw this pattern online and thought it would be great for KDR but Mommy didn't seem too keen. I still wanted to try the pattern so I used NGH yarn

I am quite pleased with the finished cardi but I am not happy with the colourwork. I found it hard to keep the stitches even. This is probably the last of this style that I will make. I'd rather do cables and stitch patterns. 

  It was an easy pattern. No armhole shaping . I may use it as a basic cardi.  The downside is being knitted in pieces. I think I could knit the body up to the armholes all in one and then divide. I might even try picking up the sleeves and doing them on dpns.

Baby Green Cardi

I bought 6 skeins of this yarn at a Lens Mill Tent Sale. It must have been in 2013 or early 2014 as I bought it intending to make some baby things for Baby R #2.  That didn't happen but he did get lots of other knitted things from his Granny.

It is really a very soft green and doesn't seem to say KDR to me.   So this is going to be made into things for MRR.

I started this sweater in September thinking that it would be good for this winter but Mom said she did not need any more sweaters for this year.
So I put it on one side and then made the 4 year old size so it is all ready for next year
