Now it is actually the home stretch!

It's almost looking like a cardigan!!

I am up to the last bit of knitting on my cardigan, yay!! Granted, I still have the blocking, assembling and sewing in of ends to do but we will just ignore that for now.

The last knitting involves a thin section of seed stitch that runs up both sides of the front of the cardigan. This section is knitted separately and then sewn with a mattress stitch onto the main sections. I have completed one side so just have the second to do. I think I have got the hang of the mattress stitch, it looks neat enough anyway but I don't think I pulled it quite tight enough as it is not lying entirely flat. However, I think I can live with it as it is... but if anyone has any suggestions for the second one please don't hold back.

I am now thinking about my next project and am leaning towards the vintage pattern on the right from here, in a lovely deep blue perhaps?

But there are so many options I almost begin to feel swamped!
