Notorious C-I-G!!! Have you knitted anything fun lately?? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!!! (Rafa is waiting for his next red carpet look!!!)

It doesn’t surprise me that Rafa wants to wear my knitted garments on the red carpet, seeing as he complimented my T-shirt at the convention (aka the best moment of my whole life). I will aim to finish it for him by the end of August.

Please also enjoy my completed Cumulus blouse by PetiteKnit, which involved picnic knitting!

Cig Knits: A Rananculus

The Rananculus is one of the most popular patterns on Ravelry, so I thought I'd check it out for myself as a beginner who wanted to try lacework. Although it's notoriously oversized, I somehow managed to make myself the world's tightest version lol - despite getting gauge with my swatch?! But that might be because of the yarn I chose (for the colour vs. how it would behave because I'm a sucker for a good green and also an idiot). Or maybe I was knitting more tightly when I felt more pressure? Idk. Anyway, I went for Rowan Sock in Emerald. It's lovely and has still made for a wearable garment that fits - I just think if I knitted this again (which I want to!) I'd go for a DK wool and go up a size or two. Make an actual cosy jumper out of it.

The yoke was exactly as engaging as everyone says, and then it's just stockinette in the round while watching Lone Star (a requirement). This is the first project I didn't have to frog at all?! But I put that down to following the tutorials on Youtube by Sundragon Tips and Tricks - I couldn't have done it without her. I loved this project for teaching me the logic of lace, and it's definitely made me a more confident knitter. (Tbh I've been stupidly confident from the start - far more than I have any right to be, but still, feel like I've earned some stripes with this!)

So, while I want to knit this again, what I really want to do is try my hand at more complex things. I'm currently knitting up my first cardigan - which is patchwork! I'll be tackling a button band, and that's extra fun because I get to choose buttons when I'm done! Can't wait!
