Hello Summer

Half way to summer I'd say.  At least half way to a summer cardi. 

 

Whether the weather will cooperate or not remains to be seen.

This little cardi is a fast knit. Although the ball band suggested a gauge of 18 stichest over 4 inches with a 4.5mm needle I am getting 12 stitches over 4 inches with the same needle.  Quite a difference!  But faster knitting, for sure.

I started with the cast on number from the   Shrug This   pattern in   One Skein Wonders, which conveniently has a gauge of 12 sts/4in and from there have just been knitting to fit.  The beauty of top down.   Finished by Easter is the current goal.

And another word on weather.  This little poem taken from a Church bulletin and attributed to annonymous.

Whether the weather be fine

Whether the weather be not,

Whether the weather be cold

Or weather the weather be hot,

We'll weather the weather

Whatever the weather

Whether we like it or not.

Annonymous must have been Canadian.
