I have finally finished my cardigan! It has been sitting in my stash for the last few years. I bought the yarn at Spotlight on sale for $3 a ball - I bought 10 balls. This yarn is discontinued now. Not bad - a knitted cardigan for under $30.
I love these colours - the orange isn't so bright in real life; it looks very bright on the monitor.
I found this broach by Dick & Dora at an up-market dress shop here in the upper mountains. It is a wooden leaf. Usually my clothes shopping is done in the opps shops or the car boot markets but I like to have a sticky-beak in these shops. I'd been looking at this broach for the last few weeks in the shop window - I was really drawn to it. Funny how we get drawn to things. Dick & Dora have a web site and they are also on Etsy. They are from Tasmania. I like buying things from Australian Artists.
Finally finished one of my many UFOs.... The wool is Vintage Hues By Cleckheaton.
The pattern is also from Cleckheaton - New Vintage Hues (952), design #1: Cardigan, edge to edge with set-in sleeves.

Looks great, I love the brooch it goes perfectly!
This suits you a treat!
That's beautiful. I'd love to be able to knit well. That brooch is perfect.
I LOVE the vintage hues wool. My bag on my space today is made with the same wool in a different colour blend. It is beautiful (and it felts a treat) I turned down buying a bag of the orange because i thought it was a bit "ORANGE" but it knits up sooo beautifully -as does the green and pinks. I am kicking myself now as your cardi is gorgeous!

So beautiful, I love the colours! The brooch is perfect, sometimes its nice to have a little splurge on something special.
It looks wonderful. I remember Vintage Hues and they had some lovely colors. I am sure I knit my auntie a hat out of the aqua colorway a few years ago now. I really like the color you used, it reminds me of autumn.
Beautiful. Definitely your colours! The brooch matches it really well doesn't it?
I adore the cardi! Great colours!

Fabulous! You clever thing.
The brooch is a beautiful focal point and draws it all together (literally!) Sometimes you just have to get something thats not from an op shop!
It is gorgeous just like you! I love the picture in the tree! :-) Hugs and smoochies xooxx
