I saw the pattern for this lovely jerkin in the window of my local haberdashery shop last week. The baby looks a little like my grandson, Sam, so of course I had to buy the pattern, didn’t I!
I had just the right yarn to make up the jerkin – some of my handspun, which has been sitting in a basket for a while now. Do you like the colour? Being handspun, it varies from dark to lighter shades. I like that. I like a bit of variation. So now I’m doing the V-neck of the front and it won’t be long before I’m on to the borders.
I love knitting. It’s very relaxing in the evenings after all the chores are done. I like to put my feet up, watch TV or listen to the radio and knit. Bliss!

That’s going to be a cute sweater !
I just finished it last night Tina. It’s the little one’s birthday next month so I shall be wrapping it up for that. Hope he likes it.
I used to knit a lot and absolutely loved it. Now I live in the tropics it’s just too hot for knitting 😦
Love the cable pattern, and its nice to get one’s feet up.. Is that one of Larry’s rugs under your feet?
yes Sue, it is. It’s one of my favourites of his rugs. It shows a typical red barn in the countryside of Tennessee where we used to live. Glad you like the cable pattern. I like to knit lacy best so cables are a bit of a challenge especially getting them to go the right way but I’m pleased with the result. It is Sammy’s first birthday at the end of the month and I intend to give it to him then. Hope it fits.
Wow Oma, hasn’t the year flown… And I am sure your expert knitting skills will be appreciated and it will be finished on time…
Brilliant… 🙂
