I know, I know, knitting isn’t just for autumn and winter, but I really do struggle to knit big bulky things all year round. I love to wear big bulky things though, and this Autumn has got me really excited because it was only in Spring that I taught myself to knit jumpers. And by then it was kind of too warm to wear them.
I bought myself some wool 🙂
It’s the same lovely stuff as my last jumpers, but breaking out of the earthy colour mold – just as a little refresher, you understand 🙂
However, I also had some left over from this little chap:
which I figured would make a rather nice jumper for my littlest. I’ve come to the end of the ball and have had to order a bit more (I know – shucks – buying wool… what a nightmare! 😉 ) I’ve chosen a top-down, seamless yoke method which, given the small size, started out on DPNs and progressed to circular needles when there were enough stitches.
So, here it is in progress (excuse the dodgy phone pics):
Starting out on double pointed needles.
Bringing in some stripes and separating the arms stitches out and onto waste yarn.
Another little flash of pattern.
Trying not to stamp my feet that I didn’t have quite enough wool 😉
I’ll be back, though <3
