Tomorrow it’s my birthday. I’m turning 40, which really sounds grown up, doesn’t it? My family and I have a really lovely day planned, even though, thanks to Covid, there will be some key people missing.
One of the things I have planned is a birthday cast on. So much of my knitting now is focused on design, and that’s ok, I love it. But it means that I’m not really knitting much of other people’s patterns as much. I have an amazing “to knit” list and enough yarn to open a yarn shop. So, let’s do it!
My choice was easy. A while ago a pattern was released that I really wanted to make, and I knew I would do it eventually. It’s Fierce by Fiona Hamilton-MacLaren (who is, incidentally, the lovely tech editor who has worked on my patterns!), and it’s an adorable cropped cardigan. The link is to her Etsy shop, but it is available on Ravelry too.
So, my task for this evening, after the Small One is in bed and while my husband searches for birthday wrapping paper, is to pick out my yarn. I have one in mind, but I’ll have to see if anything else calls my name!
