The yarn is such a happy color that I'm not even complaining about having to slog through rows and rows of 285 stitches to get to the top. I'm calling this cardi - and don't they all need names? - Waiting for Nelly. And here is the reason...
This is Nelly Moser and she is my favorite clematis. I love her spunk as well as her beauty. This clematis was a tiny vine that only who struggled just to push out some leaves for several years. Then I transplanted her and this is how she repays me for the kindness. I can't wait to have these flowers in my sweater wardrobe. Head down...keep knitting.
Your Nelly Moser is beautiful! I've never had any luck with clematis, it just gives me leaves. Love the colour of those flowers.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, winter here is much the same as yours, and it gets to your very bones after a while. So it's nice to knit something bright and cheery. It will be ready for "summer" too, a bonus!
Well both Nellys look worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteHappy Knitting!
I'm not a fan anything purple but I do love the color of this cardi- it really does match the flowers beautifully. And I'm always a fan of the things you create!
