here is the latest finished knitting project, a sweet peasy for my little O, although she is rather too little for this knit, i'd followed the 5-6 years instructions, thinking it may only be a little big, but it's actually quite a lot big - still at least she'll grow into it so not all is lost, it might make a nice school cardigan {for next year!} the pictures where taken pre blocking, i just had to grab the opportunity to take some when we had a little light, she's getting the hang of this modelling lark & is happy to goof about infront of the camera when needed, i knit this up in some cotton rope i'd brought from kemps {at a super cheap price} the yarn is lovely & soft, i just hope it stays the same after a few washes, it was also not too bad to knit with, i used this pattern, whilst i didn't think it was the easiest pattern to read it was an easy knit once i'd got the hang of it, so not bad value for money as it has quite a wide size range, the buttons are vintage ones i found from having a rummage in my button tin, i think they work with the grey, my project details can be found here
I love the colour, and I love how the buttons are just a the top, you are clever! :) x
ReplyDeleteI just called into your blog via someone else's and I was amazed to see you got your wool from Kemps. Kemps is our local wool and baby shop and we get most of our wool from there too. There is a fun saying here when anyone says they've been to Kemps, you say, "Have they got a Sale on?" Because they had a SALE sign in their window for over 20 years!
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's so lovely! Just the sweater I would have liked when I was little. :D
