Finished the child cardigan! With three days to spare 🙂 #ProudAunt

Happy with the result. Very hard pattern to read and follow, but I just read it several times until I understood the construction before I started, so then it became easy to follow.

Pattern: Tamzyn by Drops design https://www.garnstudio.com/pattern.php?id=4912&cid=17
Yarn: Hobbii Happy Toes sock yarn, 75% wool, 25% nylon.

I'm so excited! In a few days I'm going to be an aunt! I think my niece will enjoy seeing these paintings in red, white and black as an early stimulation for her first months of life 😍.

1. It was my nieces birthday and the cake my sister made that she wasn’t happy with turned out to be delicious. The whole motherhood thing has been great for her and I love to see her thrive. Yesterday I got to be both a proud aunt and a proud big sister and I’m all up for that all the time: I couldn’t be there yesterday but am very much looking forward to seeing them this week

2. I reached out to the #WritingComunity for advice on the challenge I want to complete next year and found them to be some of the most friendly, helpful and wise people on the internet.
I feel lucky to have been allowed in.

3. I made the first two of many little stockings I’m going to hang along the stair case. What I was particularly pleased with is that when I began hand sewing this year for the first time since my efforts at infant school I had no consistency in my stitches. This is the first project that when I went to turn it inside out I decided I actually preferred to be able to see the stitching. It’s so nice to see improvement in my skills.
