Closure



I’ve just finished the Debbie Bliss cardigan for my niece. It will probably look better on her than on my teddy bear.

I made some mistakes… When it says “increase” or “decrease” in the end or beginning of a row, the authors always mean that you should do it a few stitches in so that you will have an even edge for the sewing part. I forgot and had to do without an even edge at the sewing part… And when I was making the left front, I thought I had remembered how to do the decreases. I hadn’t, so the left front has a deeper curve than the right one.

Can you see that? Of course you can’t! So who cares. ;)

What you hopefully can see is my “handmade of…” etiquette and my handmade tag with size, yarn quality and washing instructions (information that I believe the recipient of the gift will appreciate).

If you make a lot of things, or if you loose a lot of things, it can be worth to order some woven etiquettes. I got mine from www.vavnamn.se (a Swedish site, but I’m sure there are English versions out there).
