Finally Finished Glenan

November 2022

I’ve been knitting a cabled hoodie vest by KD Design for a while. I’ve written about it here.

There’s a few firsts for this project. It’s the first time that:

  • I used yellow tweed yarn
  • I did an I-cord bind off
  • I knitted a hood
  • I knitted cables
  • I did a three needle bind off

For some reason, despite loving the feel of this yarn from the Bendigo Wool Mills, the pattern I found slow and cumbersome because I’m not as quick with cables. Also the I cord bind off must have been done incorrectly because the cord seemed to be on the wrong side of the work! I hand to hand sew it in place to have the cord on the right side!

Anyway it’s done. Now it just needs to be blocked and I can wear it. My first garment I’ll wear that is yellow. 🤣

More Crafty Stuff

Next week, our golf club will have a couple of Christmas events, nine and dines, Christmas parties and the like. I crocheted Christmas golf covers to get into the spirit.
Another new skill I have learned is perfecting my granny squares. I have used up all my stash yarn on these so I can knit up a blanket.
