And the ordered baby bootees have been finished off now too, again in the Women's Institute Soft & Silky Blue Mix, but this time worked on 2.25mm needles. Again, it's a free pattern from Ravelry and my step-daughter is keen on it, as the long cuffs mean that they stay on grandbaby's very active little feet!

I'm now continuing another unfinished piece of knitting, again using the same yarn. My mother helpfully provided me with a very old (1960s) Patons booklet, with two raglan cardigan patterns in it. I knitted the Button-through Raglan Cardigan in Lime, and am now in the middle of a Round Yoke Raglan. Back, left front and one sleeve are done to the point where they all get joined to the yoke and I'm on the second sleeve now. These bottom pieces are all very straight forward, but the raglan yoke is a lace pattern, so liable to require more concentration. I may abandon it again, in order to do some socks and mittens to match the baby beenie that I completed last week. Ah well, onwards and upwards.
