Five weeks and a bit to go to the wedding and still the dress isn’t started.
I have, however, finished Button’s latest sweater, just in time for the temperatures to really drop. We call it the Park Life Sweater as it’s perfect for playing out in the park on crisp, sunny autumn days.
Or for just bouncing!
The yarn is the very inexpensive, but machine washable Hayfield Bonus Aran….£7.49 for 400g and I still have loads left. I’ll definitely be using this yarn again for kids knits.
The pattern is a Debbie Bliss from this book, which I’ve had for years but you can get on Amazon.
I love this sweater. It’s a mindless TV watching knit and so practical. Button is thrilled with it. This is the first knit I’ve made for her where she’s understood what I’m doing and she’s been so excited. She even “helped” me knit a few stitches, to the absolute delight of both of us.
Next up…I’ve got some gorgeous yarn for a sweater for me. I shall wind some balls and share with you soon.
My final exam is next Tuesday and then I’ve just alterations to Alice-who-isn’t-a-cat’s dress, and hems for the three bridesmaids dresses and then I’ll start mine.
As I’m still losing weight…it’s a good job I’ve waited so long to start otherwise I’d be doing major alterations now.
That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it!!!!!!!! 😉
That jumper is gorgeous, that pattern really suits this time of year
Thank you. I agree.
I hope all is well with you and the boys. Evie X
