Hand-knitted and not quite finished cardigan layed flat on a dark wooden surface. The cardigan has a dark purple colour and scalloped edges at the bottom and the sleeves - some seams still have to be sewn up. On top of the cardigan there are hand-knitted, magenta coloured flowers and the book "Nadeln des Aufstands - Eine Kulturgeschichte des Strickens" (Needles of insurrection - a cultural history of knitting) by Katerina Schiná.

My plans for the long easter weekend - finishing my new cardigan (i.e. sewing it up, weaving in ends, and adding buttons and embellishments) and reading some #knitting related non-fiction. 🧶

I knitted these socks as a Christmas present for my Mum. After posting pictures on social media I got comments complementing the heel. So, I have written a blog post that explains the stitch pattern and the heel.
