Winter is coming

​now I know I said I wouldn’t start any new projects. 

But, I’ve got all this pretty yarn and the girls need jumpers. 

This is an all in one, top down pattern. 

But it starts a little different. You start by knitting just straight across and then turn your work and knit across again 

It’s only after about a dozen rows that you join it in the round. You cast on extra stitches and then knit round and round. This shapes the neck

No short rows or constant counting 

This is it so far. I’m working in the pattern for six year olds hoping that it will fit Ana. I’ve asked mummy to measure her and send them to me.

I’ll then decide if it will fit. If it’s going to be too small. Well it will become Georgia’s 

The yarn is supposed to be 8ply, sorry not sure what size that is in USA terms. 

But it feels a little thinner. It might be because it’s so soft. 

Anyway. I can work on this during the day when I’m home alone. So I can count and work out maths. 

I can then sew in the evenings. I don’t need to think hand sewing so I can watch hubbys shows and discuss them without making errors 

He loves sports shows and car restoration programs 

I hope the girls like the yarn. I do love the ombre look.
