BABY KNITTING

We have a new neighbour ❤️

On hearing there was going to be a new arrival a few doors down,  I rather rashly bought a subscription book before Christmas. Being me, I didn’t start knitting until the baby was due.

Now I bought the kit from knit in a box, I have bought things from them before but always after the reveal, I bought this before the reveal. I avoid variegated yarn as a rule! Loved the pattern (King Cole) but got into a pickle with the colour changing. Sewing up was a nightmare! I completed the button  band side without incident, but the other side,  oh my goodness!!! Firstly, I caught myself trying to sew the sleeve in upside down and,  then, when I finally put it in the right way up, I had sewn the sleeve in inside out 😱

Sadly I didn’t realise this until it was all sewn up, after lots of frogging 🐸🐸🐸 I put it to one side for a couple of days – I really wanted to throw it away! Anyway,  I came back to it and sewed it all up as it should be.

Variegated yarn never again, my eyes just aren’t up to it 🤔

Woolly wishes,

Jane ♡♡♡
