Hello Dolly!!!
So here is the finished Dolly cardi!!! what a relief to have it all sewn together and finally finished! I'll be giving it to my niece tomorrow and hopefully will get a piccie of her wearing it then:-)
As you know, I was going to try and clear some of my longstanding wip's before starting anything new, but alas, I have failed already as I cast on last night for the central park hoodie! But I figured after all that beading, I deserved the excitement of starting something new:-)
And a close up of the cabling!
I'm using sirdar donegal yarn, which I had in my stash, so I'm sticking to one of my resolutions!!!!! I decided to make the second size of 36" even though my measurement is 32", I don't want it to be very fitted so thought I would go for comfort instead:-)
CJ who is on the crafty threads forum with me, finished her central park hoodie this week and it looks gorgeous! So its all her fault I broke my wip busting attempt really LOL!!!!

Lovely beaded cardigan. And your hoodie is looking lovely. The colour will go great with jeans. Sorry about the enabling ;) I'm not sure what to start next, when I should be finishing DH's jumper!!
DOn't know how I missed this yesterday??!!! I really love that blue cardi, am trying not to look too hard, 'cos I'll want to start one too!! (nope still no will power!) THe beaded cardi is precious!!
The beaded cardie is so pretty and our niece looks just lovely in it. I had an auntie who made me clothes when I was a little girl and I still remember how much I loved them, they were always a bit more glamorous than the things my mum made!
