I recently finished these two sunny yellow knitting projects. The cardigan I started 3 years ago, but it's taken me this long to have the patience to sew it up. I'm surprised at how I've become so much less ambitious about my knitting without even noticing it. Now I try to minimise all sewing up processes, and also choose very plain and simple shapes. See here my new colour block sweater, which doubles as a fried egg fancy dress costume.
Then compare the 1940s-inspired cardigan from an old Rowan pattern, which I've in fact made once before in a soft brown with bright blue trim. I do love them both, but they are intricate and time-consuming and this has rather gone by the wayside in my knitting approaches. I think maybe fewer projects with more business in them might be a good shift for a while. To that end, I visited a lovely new knitting shop in Cardiff recently, and I have some ideas that were inspired by the patterns I saw there.
In the mean time, I'm enjoying these beautiful yellow shades, especially for Easter/Passover weekend.
