I finally have something new to share with you. Although it’s not one of my makes.
This is one of Ma’s!
It’s from the book Labour of Love by Vibe Ulrik Sondergaard.
This is such a lovely book. The pattern here is Matilda and the yarn is Rowan cotton.
I love this rich cranberry colour on Button. Especially at this time of year when she’s looking a little tired and pale. It really perks her up (roll on the Christmas holidays and some time off school!)
I also love how this yarn has beautifully crisp stitch definition which enhances the lovely textures of this design.
Ma knitted the largest size (a six I think) and we’re of the opinion the sizes run to the small side…but this still works perfectly for Button. The only change to the pattern was that the neckline was very low so Ma added another repeat of the neck band in a single strand of yarn, rather than doubled as per the pattern instructions.
Lovely jummy, and what a pretty little button too!
Thank you…on both counts!
Oh, isn’t she growing up! A beautiful jumper for a gorgeous girls
Too fast! She’s 5 going on 15 at the moment! Little minx.
what a fabulous jumper. I agree about the colour, it really suits her. As for the pose, I think she’s been watching her mummy!
Mini me! 😉
That sweater is gorgeous – and it fits Button perfectly! Lord, she is so sassy and cute!
Sassy is definitely the word. She’s being a little minx at the
moment. Good job she’s so adorable. 😉
That is gorgeous – such lovely defined stitches! Her cheeks are so rosy too 🙂
Thank you. 😀
So beautiful – both Button and the sweater!
I know..although I’m a bit biased!
Beautiful, it is almost as pretty as Button
That takes some doing 😉
Ooh she’s such a cutie! That sweater is lovely, I adore the stitch definition. Beautiful modeling job, button! 🙂
Silly autocorrect. I promise that I did capitalize Button. #alwaysediting
Lol! Mine’s always doing it to .
She is a cutie. And Ma is a great knitter. Thank you.
This sweater is so perfect for Button! And she looks like such a grown-up girl! What a doll!
She’s growing up waaaaaay to fast for my liking. 😉
This sweater is super cute, but your daughter is even cuter! How great that she gets to grow up surrounded by crafty role models.
She enjoys the crafty side too. She does sewing with me, knitting with Grandma and baking with Nana. Such fun.
The sweater is great! I love the color…but more than anything I think I have a urge to squeeze Button´s cheeks 😉 She is adorable!
Yes she is! And she knows it! 😉
Too cute!
Thank you!
