After taking lots of photos of everyone’s lovely knitted garments, we thought that it was about time we shared them for everyone to see. As Maria did bring in lots and lots for us to photograph we thought it was only fair one of her garments was the first.

Eco Wool Dk Pattern

This is Maria’s ribbed cardigan, knitted from a Sirdar Eco Wool Dk pattern. The cardigan has been knitted using an alternative Dk yarn. It can sometimes be an option to mix and match patterns and yarn if you find a pattern you like but prefer a different yarn in the same weight. The effect of the  finished knit can vary as it has with Maria’s cardigan, this has a bit more stretch due to the different yarn used. The pattern is featured in Eco Wool Dk Book 1 (336 sirdar book).

Keep an eye out for more garments being added soon…………

Lesley's first scarf using Sirdar Big Softie

Although most of our staff  are highly experienced knitters, my skills on the other hand lie in other areas. However, I am pleased to say that last night I actually completed my very first scarf

We are currently taking pictures of finished garments that our staff have knitted and I was determined to have at least 1 item amongst the showcase.

I knitted the scarf for my daughter using Sirdar Big Softie and she absolutely loves it.

For my next project I am going to knit myself a scarf using Sirdar Indie then I shall try something a little more complicated.
