One down?

So, my two crafty resolutions this year were to knit a jumper and to learn fair isle and/or intarsia. I’m intensely chuffed with this tiny little cardigan I’ve just finished for my cousin’s baby – isn’t it adorable? – but I don’t think I can count it as a tick on the resolution list. You see, I know that I’ve got the technical ability for a jumper, it’s the patience aspect that gets me. This may be the first jumper that I’ve ever completed, and the long, long rows on the frill took some willpower, but I think that I need to make a grown-up jumper for it to really count. Maybe I’ll practice with some more teeny, tiny baby clothes before I take the plunge and go full size.

Fantastic! I love the frill.

I nearly left the frill off, entirely out of laziness, but it looks so much better with.

Oh, that’s so pretty. Keep on with the baby things – babies and their mums will be delighted with them. I’ve still got one of Joelle’s first tiny jackets, but it wasn’t as pretty as this one.

It’s really lovely! I so need to teach myself to purl…

I think that it’s because I’m left-handed, but I actually find purl easier.

Well done you.
I’d rather do full size jumpers than baby ones, you can use bigger yarn and bigger needles so they grow really quickly.
