De-cluttering

I finished two objects last night, without even really thinking about it or planning it - it just happened organically. Pictures will follow of the Undulating Rib socks and the Pear Tree merino cropped cardigan, both of which I'm very happy with. I hadn't had a lot to do on either; a few ends on the cardigan to weave in, the toe of the second sock to sort out. I did it whilst watching Andy Murray's amazing performance at Wimbledon.

Charmayne has asked for 3 baby cardignans and 2 hats for Joshua, so the first cardigan is ONK; a simple, plain cardigan (from an old Simply Knitting) in Debbie Bliss Cathay in a French Navy colourway I'd bought in a sale and had languising in the stash cupboard. Baby stuff knits up fast and this should be finished by the weekend (and maybe a hat too), after which I'll break from the baby stuff for a while to pick up Bridie; I have a few plans for her and the previews of the Dylan Thomas film "The Edge of Love" have made me long for 40s cardigans worn with tea dresses and boots...
