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.
What a beautiful sweater, I so envy people who can knit. My friend’s mum used to say if you can read you can knit, I must be the exception to that rule. I started a cardigan when I was pregnant with my eldest son, it was still on the pins 10 years later eventually took it off the pins and unraveled the knitting and gave the wool to my DD for a craft project 😂
It’s lovely, as you can see by my name, I love to knit for my 2 little granddaughters & it’s reassuring that my knots have been passed in to the younger one intact! I don’t really like sewing up these small items though, there seem too many seams in a small space!
My mother tried in vain to teach me to knit and eventually gave up in disgust. I remember at school being taught to knit a basic square. Everyone else in the class had finished theirs and mine wasn't even cast on. So yes, I also envy those who have talents in the knitting/sewing/crocheting departments. Mine, I have come to realise, lie elsewhere.
I stuck to embroidering pram covers, bibs and bonnets, as I have never been able to knit anything but the most boring alternate rows of plain and purl.
It's lovely. I love to see babies in hand knitted clothes. I can't knit despite several people trying to teach me but plenty of people knitted my boys clothes when they were babies.
