Jumper with Fair Isle bands (Pattern: Polo shirt Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino Bk 3) 6-9 months
Several days of some sort of bug bad enough to make me stay in bed has resulted in nothing produced on the embroidery front and not much more on the knitting front either. Fortunately I finished this jumper last week when I was in London and it has become a favourite. The pattern is from Debbie Bliss’s Baby Cashmerino Book 3 and the yarn is her Baby Cashmerino.

I had ordered the yarn at Christmas thinking it was going to be more pink than red. As the colour wasn’t quite right for my granddaughter and I only had four balls anyway, I decided to make it for the friend in Ipsden with a 5 month baby. The baby gets taken to fields and stables around South Oxfordshire as her mother gives riding lessons, so a snug jumper with a collar should be useful.
Detail Fair Isle bands
Hours of sitting beside the window have not gone completely to waste, however as I picked up knitting abandoned at Christmas when stumped by the very first line of pattern. Thanks to of YouTube, I have now mastered K1, yfwd, K1 ALL INTO ONE STITCH and those four lovely balls of silk and wool mix will no longer languish unused. A great relief as I don’t like to be defeated.

It’s very satisfying to master a previously baffling pattern, isn’t it! Well done!
It really is Rachel. I now have one more to tackle – but not yet!
It’s a beautiful little sweater!
Thanks, Bev. I love it too!
Such a perfect present Mary! Lucky baby
Well the recipient deserves lovely things – and will appreciate it!
Well I love the color, at least how it is coming through on my screen. Once again I am so impressed by the fair isle pattern.
We love the colour too – it just doesn’t best suit someone with pale gingery hair tones, but will be great for dark hair.
Hope you are feeling better. Love the colour, it will suit, as you say, a dark haired child.
Much better, thanks, Anne – just a bit sluggish.
