New Cardie
I'm having the perfect introvert weekend - no one to visit or look after (and the Boy, though I love him dearly, isn't back until tomorrow). Just me, sitting on my sofa, eating toffees and watching crime documentaries on YouTube.
And knitting! Sadly, I'm not a great knitter. I'm a leftie, and also not a big fan of patterns (impatience or arrogance, take your pick). However, I do like that I can knit on the train, or at my desk over lunch, and I also like the look of a decent piece of proper knitwear on a doll. I've knitted cardies for Mini Mes before (wouldn't really be a Mini Me without), but they've always been super tiny - 1:12 or even one at 1:24. I was trying to knit a 1:6 one with 1mm needles, but it was taking forevaaaah, and the tension was way too tight.
So I got some 2mm needles and some crochet cotton, and what do you know? The whole thing comes together so quickly! Well, comparatively speaking.
It's not the prettiest cardigan in the world, but it proves that this works in principle. I might do some repainting later. Maaaaybe.
