pauline fowler

I've decided on a cardigan. you can't go wrong with a good old cardy can you (never did Pauline Fowler any harm did it?) and lets be honest who brews tea in a pot nowadays?

Its a blue cardy and I've picked some nice soft wool because I can't wear anything itchy. I think thats where I have previously gone wrong, I've spent months knitting a jumper, then when its done the damn thing itches so much its gone straight to the rag bag without passing go.

Another of my failings, and there's plenty to share, is that I lovingly knit the parts, taking the utmost care, and then go into a speed frenzy when I'm sewing it up and rush it, desperate to try it on, taking little care and consequently ruining the whole project.

I am committed on this occasion not to do that and make a itchless, neatly sewn garment I can wear with pride and take to all the best venues in town - ones that let you in wearing cardies that is.
