I Love Vitamin D

I just don't understand why it has taken me so long to finish off my Vitamin D. I had problems with the short rows shaping but I managed to get it right. Then came the sleeves which I had nicely arranged on one long circular needle so that I can knit them together......but it sat in the basket for months.

I picked it up last week & within 3 days, the sleeves were done & I have been having my daily dose of Vitamin D & I love it .......

I used Colourmart Cashmere/Cotton & it looks great as the cardigan is light & drapes nicely. I decided on 3/4 sleeves as it's just in time for spring & I have been wearing it almost every day .......

That's my cherry bloosom tree outside my house & it's so lovely with all the flowers in bloom & I can't resist a picture. 

Spring is definitely here now & the days are warming up. I am sad to see winter gone as I love the cold but at the same time, I love watching all the spring flowers coming into bloom .....

...... the sweet smell of jasmine.

It looks so lovely and nice modelling, I can see how nicely it drapes when you wear it too. Isn't it usually the way, though, that something lingering in the basket takes hardly any time at all to finish?? Spring is here too, but we are having lots of wind and rain, Which is normal. It blows the blossom around awfully.

My Vitamin D has been sitting in the basket a while, too. Need to get it finished. You inspired me. Yours looks great.

Isn't it funny how we sometimes put things aside that only need a small amount of work to finish! (I am guilty of this too!). Looks great, and I love your cherry blossoms - so pretty!

D is for delightful! Your Vitamin D is amazingly beautiful as are your spring flowers especially as we head into fall here. What lovely drape and your short-rows are perfect!
