Myself and my DB had a couple days off so we decided to go down to Bath and stay the night. It really is a beautiful place. Obviously I took some knitting with me too (I just couldn't help slipping it into our bag)

Anyway I found some beautiful cheap acyclic wool in a deep deep purple and thought "I'm gonna make a pattern up as i go along, damn it!" So this is what I'm doing. It's a cardigan, as i feel more flexible in one, I know it would be simpler to do a jumper but i know i won't wear it as much!

I've put a chunky hem on the bottom and did a nice bit of raglan shaping on the back. Fingers crossed it goes OK.

So yesterday we got up and though seen as though we were in Bath we would take a trip down to Glastonbury Abbey.
Here's a little video I took of the Lady Chapel which is on the site of the first church built on that ground.



And here are a few pictures of the rest of the Abbey.

This is the outside of The Lady Chapel -

The cardigan is looking great. I love Bath it is such a beautiful city. I went to University in Bristol and often popped over to Bath at the weekends.

Fabulous colour - I am with you on the cardi thing - much more versatile than a jumper!
