The not-really-on-a-deadline project

When I said I had no more deadline knitting, I wasn't completely honest

The adorable Rowan-ator...
...turns five at the beginning of June. Five is a pretty special number, and clearly worthy of something handknit, if I can swing it.

I found the Sunny Cardigan on Ravelry a little while back, and knew it would be perfect for the little munchkin.
So, I pulled some Stray Cat from the shop (colour is Kaia .... more green... I know....) and got started this weekend. I'm making the shrug version (cropped with cap sleeves), so it's definitely possible to have it done for her birthday.

But I'm not going to push it either. If I don't get it done, it can go in the Christmas box, and she'll be just as happy with a new Barbie.

Stay tuned tomorrow.... Dee has dared me to bare my sock drawer.... this could get interesting!
