Knitted Jumper for Jairus
I've completed three major knitting projects in the last few days, I'm excited to share them with you!First up, here is a jumper that I've made for Jairus. It may seem familiar as I made the same pattern in the size bigger for Olivia last year (you can see it here) It has been much loved and super practical so I decided Jairus needed one too.The yarn is natural undyed wool from Nundle Woolen Mill, the same as Olivia's just a different colour. It had been previously made into a crocheted basket, but it really wasn't very useful and so I thought the wool would be put to better use as a jumper. Unfortunately I miscalculated the amount that would be needed and ran out with a sleeve still to knit, I ordered some more to finish but the sheep had grown a different coloured coat so its slightly different, although it's probably only me that notices it (and you now that I've told you). It just adds to the character and makes it imperfect, which according to the Amish, they call it a 'humility block' and it shows their humility to God and I kind of like this so I'm going with it.Details on what I used and the pattern can be found on Ravelry hereNow I feel like I'm missing a part of me with no knitting project on the go (apart from a washer part made and the squares that will eventually turn into a blanket, but we don't count those) what should I make next? a vest for Jairus? a shawl for me? or a skirt for Olivia? all are on the short list to start making soon.
