BRIGHT jumper

So far I’ve knitted two jumpers (sweaters) for Adam. The first one, which he loved, was acrylic in a badly-executed pattern from Drops (in the days before they had English translations, which gave me the freedom to do pretty much whatever I wanted – so I did, badly). The second one was a bit better made, but he found the wool too itchy.

So I’m trying again. I’m again using yarn I bought from Coldspring Mill, but this time it’s mostly Debbie Bliss Pure Cotton, with a little Nature Cotton (Araucania?) for the welts and cuffs etc. Adam does like BRIGHT clothing. Given free rein he will usually head straight for the orange trousers…

This is the second sleeve… if I can get myself off the computer and get on with the knitting it shouldn’t take me much longer…

two comments:

He will be very safe crossing the street!

...I’m waiting patiently for my yarn to arrive so I can knit my mittens. I am. Yes, I am.

Not.

That jumper’s gonna be bright, just like the child inside it! x
