Cardigan in Progress and Chocolate Cake

 The front and back are sewn together, the pockets are sewn in, all we need now are some sleeves and a collar, and then buttons. Then it will look like this:

The chocolate cake still life is finished and you can get a better look at it, or other foodie still life paintings at  My Good Babushka.

Some Needlework in Progress

 Working on a long, oatmeal-colored cardigan. Just starting the right front panel.

A little embroidery in progress. A golden tree. The black background is taking a long time.

Some Knitting and a Search Party

 Here is the back of a long cardigan I'm knitting.

I've done a bunch of sketches inspired by the folk belief that candles set adrift on water won't cross a drowned body. The focus of the sketches has shifted from the drowned body to the search party.

Some Knitting and Embroidery

 I'm making another long, mock-cable cardigan. This time in the color "oatmeal" and a little bit larger than the last one.

Finished up my Sheela Na Gig embroidered pillow, too. All my hand embroidered works are one of a kind pieces, and I never use a machine in any part of the project, all hand sewn. You can find my Sheela Na Gig Pillow at My Good Babushka

Some Knitting

Above is a long Cardigan awaiting buttons.

Above is the finished cardigan in better light with pretty wooden toggle buttons. You can find the Long Golden Cardigan at My Good Babushka.

Below is a striped scarf I've been working on.

And below is the finished scarf  with a pretty fringe You can find this Long Striped Scarf, also at My Good Babushka.

Yellow Cardigan and the Colt Pixy

 I'm working on the right front side of a long golden cardigan with these wiggly, mock cable panels on them.
I have other Cardigans that are already finished, if that's something you are looking for.

Here is a sketch for Colt-Pixy. A colt-pixy is a malicious spirit horse that lures travelers into bogs and to their doom. I've envisioned it here as a prop used to by two impish bog creatures who are languidly waiting for the next lost traveler to cross their path. I'm still not completely happy, so I'll keep working on it. If you like creepy, folktale or fairy tale inspired art, you can see my paintings at My Good Babushka, art, jewelry, needlework.

Two Needlework Projects in Progress

 Sea Monster Embroidery in Progress.

Left front of a long cardigan I've been working on. This is inspired by a vintage McCall's pattern, but I've changed it a good deal to fit my yarn, which is a heavier weight, and I've decided to add pockets to the front as you see I've added one here. I haven't added the ribbed top band, or sewed it in place yet, though.
You can see the finished Sea Monster Embroidery at My Good Babushka. And even though this sweater is not done yet, this next link will take you to some finished hand-knit Cardigans and Sweaters

Long Golden Cardigan

I've rustled up a vintage pattern that featured the look of cabling, but is not true cabling. I've reworked it into a long cardigan. I'm going to give it pockets, I think. Here I've finished the back. All my work is handmade, one of a kind. You can see my selection of cardigans available in the Cardigans and Sweaters section of My Good Babushka.

Stripey Cardigan in Red and Gold

I am making a stripey cardigan, it is in ribbing stitch throughout. There is the back, finished. Now I'm working on the left front and trying to decide what kind of collar to make, probably it will be a shawl collar. I like those. This is in sport weight cotton. Even though this cardigan is not finished, you can see some finished hand knit cardigans at My Good Babushka. Knitting, Art. Chainmail Jewelry

Yellow Cardigan

I was going to make a yellow afghan, but then I changed my mind. I unknitted the whole thing and now I'm making a cardigan. Here is the back and two pockets on a holder. If I keep this up, I'll never have to buy yarn anymore!

Dandelion Cardigan

Women's golden yellow cardigan with pretty cables and two front pockets. Almost done. We just need some buttons.

Dandelion Cardigan

Here is my yellow cardigan in progress. It has two nice pockets and a pretty cable on each side. It's going to need some sleeves, though. I think I will put the same cable up the side of each sleeve.

Dandelion Cardigan

 The Back.

 The Back and one pocket lining.

One side of the front, the left front, I think. I decided to add some cabling up either side. This will be a ladies' medium-ish cardigan. I'm using cotton yarn. Scrumptious and machine washable!

I'm Keeping It

I finished this cozy cotton cardigan in a pretty autumn blaze color. It has pretty vintage wooden buttons. Normally, I would put it up for sale in my Etsy shop, but it fits me so well, I think I'll keep it. I have rationalized this by saying that when people comment on my cardigan and ask me where I got it, I can give them my business card, which I can conveniently stow in either of the front pockets. See, it's a PR move, not selfish at all.

Autumn Blaze Cardigan

My cotton cardigan continues. I seem to be missing a picture of the finished fronts, but here I am half way up the right front, and there is the beginning of a sleeve.

Blue Bunny and Red Sweater

 Some needlework for today. A rabbit embroidery in blue, and the left front of a cardigan in progress. This is in cotton, my first cardigan in cotton. It feels wonderfully soft.

Two Tone Bad Ass Skull Sweater

I've made this mild mannered two tone cardigan into a bad ass with these skull motif patch pockets.
I haven't yet added the tortoise shell buttons in the top picture, but below you can see how the finished cardigan looks in my Etsy shop.
