Pattern: Sirdar Baby Knits book 316 - Design K Textured Jacket
Size: 6 - 12 months
Yarn: 8 ply wool, about 4 or 5 balls
Started: 5th June and finished 8th June 2007
I loved knitting this little jacket, so easy to remember the simple pattern, and it does go by quickly. I probably could have knit this easily in 3 days, if I hadnt been naughty and knit other things too. I already had the yarn and buttons in my stash, so it is slowly reducing bit by bit. I need to stock up on the buttons again though, as I am starting to run out of ones that match my knits. Speaking of knitting, have you seen the new Knitty patterns, I like so many of them. Laura has designed a cute girl's top too, and I couldnt help myself but to print it out straight away. I am sure this will be a good top for summer, and it will be perfect for Isabelle to wear. Isabelle loved the chevron patterned skirt too, so that was also printed out. There are quite a few sock patterns too, which reminds me I need to start another pair. Tomorrow shall be the start of the WIP's pile, so one a day for the rest of the week should get me through them. Happy knitting and have a wonderful day!

Hi Sue
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love the baby jacket - one of my favourite colours. I've just cast on a vest for myself in a similar colour. My youngest Flea lives at Gisborne - she and her partner have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 1 guinea pig and 2 giant axolotls and 2 children who go to Mowbray. It's a small world in cyberland.
Cheers
That is so cute! I love the colour too! beautiful and bright.
You are churning through your stash very well arent you? I am getting through mine slowly (though I went out and bought wool for my next two projects...bad me should have used stash).

Love the jacket! The texture is great... guess why they called it "textured jacket." You really are churning out those fos!
