Couldn't sleep, so went in the sewing room and rooted through the cupboard looking for sweater knits.
Finally settled on a soft variegated sweater knit, its 3m long and made up of taupe, white and burgundy threads.
A question to those in the know. If a sweater knit has obvious little V shapes when I look closely, which way is up?
Now to decide if I want the long cardigan since I have enough fabric, or whether that will look too much like wearing my dressing gown during the day. (My legs would be warm though)
