Tatted daffodils and handknit sweater


From daffodil patterns in Christel Weidmann’s book "Ostern"
I brought out and wore my tatted corsage on Easter morning, even though the weather here today felt like more of winter cold! More about this corsage in a post from 2019:

I'm happily wearing my tatted corsage.

The purple sweater that I began knitting in the fall of 2021 is finished! Here's some pictures of me wearing it.

This sweater pattern is "Spring Leaf" designed by Bronagh Miskelly, found in Knitting Magazine, April 2017

It has a curved bolero shape. The lace edging is knitted on.
The skirt I sewed from an old Simplicity pattern that I've made several skirts from. It's very simple with an elastic waist and has side seam pockets. I chose the fabric from Spoonflower and the designer is ruthjohanna.

Really love your cardigan! Goes perfectly with the skirt. How useful to have tatted flowers that can be picked and worn whatever the weather.

The sweater is beautiful. It goes so well with the skirt and the blouse you are wearing underneath the sweater, too. The corsage is gorgeous, also.

I do love the thought of tatting a corsage. It's just too easy to walk outside and pick a flower of some kind no matter what time of year it is. Which reminds me, it is spring. I must think about planting and not just maintain.
Nah....I'd rather tat another heart!!!
