I finally managed to get all of my orders done, so that I am ready just in case I get some more orders at my first craft fair on the 5th.
The first of two orders that I have recently finished was for 4 baby cardigans.
There is two in cream and two in pink.
One of two patterns used is an old pattern, although I am not sure how old and was used for the top two cardigans in the picture.
Pattern Details:-
Wendy No. 406 18/20 chest, 4ply or Courtelle
The second pattern details:-
Peter Pan P221 a Wendy design in 4ply
I am not sure if either of these patterns are still available, but I am sure the designs have probably been reprinted in more recent patterns.
The cream yarn that I used was a baby 4ply and looks a bit lemon if you are not in a very good light but it turned out ok in the end and the customer was very happy with them!
My second and final completed order was this orange “Gents” Aran Cardigan.
It is the same pattern as was used for the green Gents Aran and was knitted for the same customer, who was delighted with the finished garment!
This was another old pattern and again I don’t know how old.
I really don’t think you will be able to go into your LYS and buy this pattern anymore. The price on the front was 10 pence!
All the pattern says is that it is a Marriner Design. It is knitted in Aran yarn.
The picture isn’t very good although it does show you the brightness of the colour. The pattern does stand out better when it is infront of you but you can see the pattern better if you go to this post that has a picture of the green version.
Since finishing these two orders, I have been knitting stock for the craft fairs and putting labels on everything. I am hoping that I won’t forget something.
I will let you know how I get on and I may take some pictures of my stall and post it next week.
