I Like It!

It was January. It was cold. Work was slow. And I had just bought myself several knitting books with my Christmas money. So I had plenty of projects to do and plenty of time to do them in.

This jumper is from the book Step-by-Step Knitting Work Book by Debbie Bliss. I bought this book as a reference book to help me get through some other patterns. But it has some really book items in it. The pattern is called "Baby's Top with Moss Stitch Trim". I used Rowan Cotton Glace in shade 814 and it was really nice to work with. Very smooth and the stitches are really even. The moss stitch turned out well also. I don't think I would wan to do a whole jumper in moss stitch though. I can do stocking stitch or garter stitch with out looking at what I'm doing. Moss stitch requires concentration.

 

8/10 for this pattern always room for improvement...but id definitely do it again.

Best jumper ever! I'm feeling left out though so I think it's time you knit me something cool. I think the mushroom shown here will do! :P
