Weekend Knitting

Hello Little Birdie,
This weekend I finished some knitting projects.
I am always surprised how long it takes to finish off a knitted garment after the knitting has finished.
I completed this 12 month old stripey jumper.
This pattern was quite quick and it is from this book.
I like this jumper so much I have started another one.
I also completed another small vest designed by thrifty knitter.
I started this to use up some wool (the green) from the stash of leftovers and I ran out before the vest was completed. I used a contrasting wool from my stash leftovers to complete it and wove some in to the body to link the two colours. It turned out ok, however I would have preferred it to be all the same colour.
Happy knitting.

  1. i think the vest top looks cute in two colours, they go together well,

    i also hate sewing up after knitting & have started knitting top down raglan patterns on circular needles, as all you have to do is sew in your ends & small holes under the arms, it's so much quicker! cute for baby patterns
