Puerperium and spots

I've done plenty of knitting lately but for one reason or another they are secret projects, so I've not been able to share them. I have completed one little project which is a Puerperium Cardigan by Kelly Brooker . I bought some gorgeous Adriafil Duo Plus yarn in the "End of Season Sale" at A Good Yarn  - plus lots of other yarn too, which I'm not going to talk about because I think I have a stash addiction and I'm going to ignore the problem and hope no-one will notice. The yarn in question is absolutely gorgeous, stunningly soft and in beautiful muted colours. So even though there are lots of other projects I should be doing, I had to make a little Puerperium ( which is a welcome to the world gift for a friend's grandchild due in a few weeks ). I decided on making all the buttons different and trying to match the colours in the yarn, not a perfect match but I quite like the effect. The other project that I can share is currently langui...
