Sweet Pea

This is all the knitting I have done for the last 2 weeks, and last night I finished it.

Pattern: Sweet Pea from Sublime DK Book 607.

Size: 71cms

Yarn: Sublime Merino DK, 7 balls of cherry red, and Zara 1 and a half balls of dark purple.

Flower: A small bit of light blue Zara yarn.

Started: End of November, finished 7th December 2007.

I really enjoyed knitting this (apart from the ribbing on the collar) which seemed to take FOREVER! I cheated with the flower instead of knitting an i-cord I just used a french knitter (is that what they are called) and did the cord that way, much easier.

Overall I am quite happy with this sweater and I do hope to take some pictures of Isabelle wearing it too to show you how it fits.

Apart from the knitting I seem to be busy all the time. On Wednesday night we had Isabelle's christmas concert which was great fun, and they got the parents up to dance too.

Today we had sports day - Isabelle got 1st in high jump and the 60m sprint which was fantastic. It seems for the rest of the weekends until Christmas we have something on every weekend so I have had to write a list so I remember everything we need to do. I only need to knit a hat for my aunt for Christmas, a last minute decision. I am still knitting away on my sister's sweater although it is only ribbing at the moment so boring pictures I am afraid. I really want to try and knit something for a few little ones that I have some small presents for so I will see how I go with them. I hope everyone gets a chance to relax before Christmas and I will try and post Isabelle's pictures before then. Happy knitting!
