He looks very nice with your Portmeirion dishes in the background!
Whatcha' Knitting? December 2022
Ooh, I do like the granny square stars. I might make a few in the hot weather when I donāt feel like picking up a big piece or any wool and put them away for next year.
That looks incredible 
well done
Creations,
This sweater is simply gorgeous! Your son will LOVE it!

Great socks - Iām in 2 pairs of thermal socks and still have cold toes! Itās so shivery where I am. Your socks look so professional.
Thanks for all the encouraging comments everyone.
I just finished my first stranded amd steeked colorwork priject. A cardigan for my 3 yr old. The pattern is off but Iām pleased with the finished project. Just need to put a zipper in it yet
Iām also knitting another stranded colorwork cardigan for my 10 yr old daughter. Working on the first sleeve now.
Aannddd Iām knitting a hat for my husband. Iām using lettilopi and plotulopi. Iām really enjoying the process on this one!

Beautifully worked! Steeking seems like walking off a cliff but it works so nicely. Youāve done well.
Thanks for posting the photos.

Well done. This is beautiful knitting. Your stranding tension looks great. I see nothing that looks like the pattern is off. Hint: never tell anyone there is any sort of mistake and no one will ever know. Anyone who would get picky enough to look and find a mistake is very critical and quite likely not knit-worthy. What counts is that you made it with love and it will keep your child warm and looking amazing. Steeking is scary before doing it the first time. Kudos to you for taking it on.
I spent years dreading even the thought of steeking. I wish Iād done it sooner! All those years of thinking how horrible it is only to find out itās not.

Beautiful cardigan.

For one reason or another I am still in December knitting my Kaffe Fassett project
I love knitting this. Itās definitely not one I can whizz up, sitting in front of telly. Every stitch, every row, etc is different. But I am getting there. This is what it could look like
Only hope it fits when finished.

Your knitting is beautiful. Stunning.
I always get stuck in between projects so a project that goes a bit slower helps to avoid the dilemma of what to make next, which size to do, which size, what sort of cast onā¦ too many things stop me casting on. Maybe I need a Kaffe Fassett project?
Well I got the throw finished so I could give as a Xmas gift. I think it turned out well. I had finished a different one couple months ago which I gave to my granddaughter and she was so excited. But done with those for a while. They take a lot of time.

Thank you @GrumpyGramma and @Claudia1
The pattern is Cora Cable Throw by Premier Yarn. But you know after looking at the picture, I think I missed a cable. Donāt know what happened and there isnāt anything I can do about it now since itās already gifted. Really irritates me, but I donāt really think the recipient will even notice. At least thatās what Iām telling myself!

This is a lovely piece of knitting made with love and I expect thatās what the recipient will see. The love something is made with outweighs any mistakes. People I give things donāt mind if there is a mistake or twelve or more. We do our best, hope we didnāt miss something too obvious, and thatās all we can expect of ourselves. Thanks for the pattern name.
