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.

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.
