Pattern: Festive Occasion Jumper/November 2006 Creative Knitting
Finished Size: 23" (chest); 19½" (length); 18 months size.
Yarn: Plymouth Jelli Beenz (75% Acrylic 25% Wool; 107 yd/50g): #1386 red, 5 skeins
Needles: Clover Bamboo US 6 & 8 circular
Changes: Instead of crocheting around neck and armholes to create a picot edge, I did an i-cord edge on the neckline and chained along the armholes.
Comments: Very simple knit and it's comfortable for a young child to wear. I also like that the pattern goes all the way up to size 6 yrs.



C loved modeling it!

I took a snow day today. The weather is intense outside. Up to a foot of snow expected in the Boston area today--all happening into the evening commute. No thank you. It's pretty to watch from inside a warm house

making gingerbread cookies!


I just ate one with a cup of tea--heaven.

I also made about 4 lbs of fudge:

B's twisted cables pullover from Kids' Knitted Sweaters & More is a challenge but yet still not difficult to knit--it's rated intermediate and that's about the skill level I like. The cotton is beautiful to work with and I love the color. The twisted cable yoke has proven to be a bit of a pain, I've tinked back a few times where the increases have gone wrong when I've gotten interrupted or daydreamed--I'm looking forward to the yoke being finished so I don't have to concentrate so much! The 'make one' knitwise and the 'make one' purlwise's are getting old.




I've put the sock aside for now--just need to finish the foot and toe, oh and then do a whole other one. . . .




I still need to get that ribbon for C's dress/jumper!
