Pattern - Design D from Sirdar 324 Vintage Snuggly
Yarn - Sirdar Denim Tweed.
Size 18"
I am making a few changes to the pattern, adding 2 x 2 ribbing on the hemline and cuffs. I like tidy bottoms and I have a feeling the edges will roll and look untidy without it. Lets face it we are at liberty to make any changes we like to a pattern.
Here is the finished sweater I was working on last week. I had a mental block when trying to fit the collar on, its by no means right but I think I now know what to do differently. Here's a reminder of the pattern details
And here is Jessica modelling her green/grey number. Doesn't she look cute even if its a little bit big. Pattern details for this one here

Very pretty. The knitting and the babe!
ReplyDeleteThat green cardigan is gorgeous and suits Jessica perfectly. Mental blocks have been my knitting crisis this last week. Fortunately I banged my head on the wall so many times that I finally broke through and the little jacket I'm knitting should be finished by easter. So, hopefully this time round you'll fit the collar to the sweater with a hitch!
ReplyDeleteYour sweater to be looks beautiful and I love the green cardigan, Jessica looks great:)
ReplyDeleteThe green sweater is so sweet and cheerful, and I really like the intricacy of the new pattern.
ReplyDeleteWonderful knits for the boys, Sue. And little Jessica will fit into that green sweater in no time at all!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful cardigans and such a beautyful girl. Lovely.
