Isa {Knitting}

Wednesday 29 May 2013

This has been a WIP for a long time. I started knitting the jumper when I was pregnant - and added a few stitches to take my growing belly into account. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago, and Mr MiH laughed at it - it was double my size. 

Back to the drawing board - I am making a less loose version than La Poule. After a lot of (probably bad) maths, I think I have the right number of stitches on my circular needles, and the ribbing is nearly finished - and then comes the confetti stitch!

 I am using exactly the same yarn as La Poule, it is the perfect sweater jumper yarn!

I am also wondering what to make with the leftover of Steel after Steel Snow...I am thinking making this necklace, a chunky version?



I am reading again! I got a few books back from France... so far the comic book is much more interesting... the book is proving a bit too romantic for a thriller..
