Little things
So in the aftermath of the Ella coat, I've found myself immersed in the knitting of little things. Quick Projects. Near-instant gratification.
I started an "Amelia" top for Emily out of Rowan Pima Cotton.
It's from Rowan 51, and is much further along than this. In fact, it's finished, blocked and merely awaiting seaming.
It's awaiting seaming because I got distracted by another small project. My nephew will be baptised next weekend, and I decided to knit him a cardi for the occasion. It's a pattern from Sublime, a fairly basic stripey cardi in 4ply.
I'm using the new Rowan Wool Cotton 4ply,and it is divine!
I've knit most of it, I'm on the second sleeve now. Needs to be finished for next Sunday. I think I can, I think I can...

The projects are looking great. I love that little cardigan in those colors.

Good luck with the deadline, I'm sure you'll make it (and your knitting is always so neat and even I'm sure it won't need blocking!)
