Hi all
I knitted this baby sweater for a friend. Her daughter is having a baby boy in July. Knitted using james c Brett marble dk.
Thank you for looking.

That’s beautiful! You are talented. I used to knit a lot, but arthritis in my hands has put paid to that.

That's lovely, I used to enjoy using the random coloured wools as you never quite knew what the pattern would turn out to be.

It's gorgeous .
Lucky baby .
I wouldn't attempt it !
Blankets and scarves - yes and no to anything that requires following a pattern .
You might as well ask me to devise a formula for cold fusion !

I really like cable knitting.

Lucky baby! Really lovely sweater.

That's lovely. I wish I could knit, but I'm completely useless at anything like that (believe me, I've tried!). My DiL is expecting a baby girl next month and I'd love to find someone local who could knit me something for her.

That's lovely whywhywhy

I remember knitting cabled jumpers and cardigans for my DC and DGC!
They're into sportswear now, not Granny's knitting.

Thank you. 🤗🤗

That’s lovely. Very talented.

I always said I would knit for my babies when they came along as I was useless at anything adult sized…. Guess what - I was useless at that too!

Beautiful, lucky baby!

I've no idea how to knit, nor patience, well done you.

Oh that’s gorgeous, unusual too. Well done.

Beautiful. Lucky baby,

That's lovely whywhywhy. Modern mums appreciate hand knitting as they are aware of sites such as Etsy featuring home crafters.

Love a cable sweater! That's really nice.

Thank you all so much.

whywhywhy I started knitting myself a cable jumper very many years ago but for some reason never finished it. There's not much to do now and I took it out twice during lockdowns to have another go, but could I work out where I was with the cabling? No!
It's back in a box under the stairs, another UFO 😃

What a gorgeous little jumper.
I’m sure the mum will be delighted with it.
