OK, so here’s my other FO of the moment: another cardi, but from this pattern
which I followed religiously (it’s how I do everything).
I’m off to Lincraft now to buy three buttons. After which purchase it really WILL be finished.
Goanna, you may admire the fitting sleeves, me old darlin !!

and also my bare feet.

Huge enormous closeup so that you can admire her patterning of 1 row of double crochet followed by 1 row of single crochet, so that all the dc stitches are facing the same way !
I seem to be absolutely unable to hit the happy medium of making a garment that fits me perfectly: almost all of the bastards are too small or too big. I have to refer back to those colourful boxy sweaters for total happiness. [grump grump ..]
SHUT UP M-R !!!!

much much better – well done sweetheart xxx

I liked the bigger sleeves on your last model. (Maybe because I’m a generous size.) But either way, I’m jealous as hell of someone who can actually make something wearable! What a useful skill to have. (I couldn’t even have told you if that sweater was knitted or crocheted.)

I’m still at the stage of trying different things – stitches, sleeves, length, necklines, etc. I NOO you would be: yet another thing we share !! ๐

What’s wrong with the fit? Looks good to me. A little on the loose side but not too much, which is just the way I like it – covers up any bumps and is comfortable over other clothes.

But it has to stretch to button up. I think I’ll send it up to Goanna in Sydney; then she can put it in the reject clothes bin. ๐

Ooh, that’s really nice. Love the pattern. You may have just inspired me, lost my mojo a while ago. Thank you,

Then let’s hope I have: loss of the k&c mojo is tragic ! ๐

That’s just as lovely as the last one! I just might tempted to make one for myself if you keep this up.

I think your crocheting skills are well up to making a cardi or a jumper, Hannah. It’s really rewarding, I promise. ๐
