I love dressing my little ones in red, especially from around 9 months until they are about 3 years old! The three youngest have all looked especially cute in red with their big brown eyes!
For about the past few months I have been searching for a little red cardigan for Jessica to go with a few of her outfits. I tried so many stores but couldn't find one. The sales assistants kindly told me red is not in!
Anyway, I logged onto
Ravelry and searched for a pattern - I was going to make my own. I found
this perfect and easy pattern. Mum gave me some cream wool to practice with and I got started.
The very next day while sorting through the too big, too small clothes I found the red cardigan Jess is wearing in the pictures! I didn't even know I had it. I have seen it before but do not remember any of the girls wearing it and it's definitely a home-made hand knit :)
So, I continued with the cream cardigan and have spent almost every spare minute with a pair of needles in my hand! I only have the sleeves to go now and then I'll be looking for another pattern to make a navy cardigan :)
I had no idea how addicting knitting is! Hopefully I will get it finished and take some pictures!
