Knitted baby jumper

How lovely, whywhywhy!

I've been debating trying my hand at. knitting and some lively Grans here have given me the push I needed to get going.

I doubt I'll ever be able to do cats though!

I remember knitting the horse jumper in yellow for a little DD who was horse-mad.

Farmor15 your jumpers are wonderful!

I think the jumpers look great and, since babies aren't interested in fashion, I am sorry your own children didn't appreciate your talents. I can knit basic things but I couldn't produce these beautiful jumpers.

Here are a couple I knitted a while ago.

Thank you so much. I'm not sure if the pattern is still available but if anyone would like a photocopy then please feel free to PM me. Its really old and I've never seen it again so I keep it safe. X

That's so lovely - Love the colours and the cat design. I wish I could work the different colours together so big holes don't show!

I have always knitted for my GC - Aran is my speciality - I've knitted dozens for them, all very much appreciated by their Mums! There are some fabulous colours available in aran these days and I was so proud when they wore them.

Unfortunately I started to develop arthritis in my little fingers (tension fingers) and can't knit any more, I'm really disappointed. I'm reduced to crocheting lacy baby blankets these days. I make several through the winter months and donate them to childrens charities for them to sell.

Whywhywhy that is beautiful. I am so lucky that my DIL has always appreciated my knitting for my grandson. But now the little blighter no longer wants to wear it, he's 5. But there are always other babies to knit for.

That's lovely. I've been enjoying knitting for grandchildren - their parents do appreciate them and I'm getting more ambitious! I'd love to try that one, if there's any way I could get the pattern.

My mum had that pattern! It looks lovely.

That looks great whywhy, I also do a lot of knitting and have a regular collection of ancient patterns!

Thank you, I'm really enjoying knitting these little jumpers.

Lovely!
I knitted jumpers for my DC with various patterns on; little trains around the edge, a horse (complete with mane), Postman Pat and his cat etc and even a countryside scene with a small cottage.

DIL liked knitted garments for the DGC too although they are getting too old for them now.

Well done.
