As a result, I ended up having to unravel and re-knit the neck (grrrr!). I am proud to report that this led to me finally learning how to successfully unravel knitting without dropping stitches. So now if I make a mistake I don't have to return to the very beginning of a project any more (this is MAJOR progress for me!!!!).
I am kicking myself that I didn't add some extra length to the body as its a wee bit on the short side, but I didn't have the confidence to muck around with the pattern on my first major knitting project.

I am proud to say that it does actually fits Rascal (just!) and she LOVES it!
I think that I have caught the knitting bug... I'm busy browsing for more wool (in the sales of course) and new patterns to try. My children certainly won't be cold next winter!!!

Well done, you have done a great job.... if I hadn't been following your blog, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was your first completed jumper! Perfect gender neutral colour too, it will look just as lovely on your wee man :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I always admire people who can knit. Believe me I've tried many times but I just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE red I LOVE this jumper and that it is your first *yeah* xxx
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! And if you need to add extra length to the bottom, knit a scarf length in contrasting colour & stitch it to the bottom, tying it at the ends to look like a decorative belt.
ReplyDeleteit looks great! you must have so much knitting confidence now :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous, I love those necklines and the wool is beaut too x

ReplyDeleteAw, that's fantastic :) I love the colour and she looks really cosy in it. Nice that they may be able to share it too!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! You are awesome. I am so impressed - Rascal looks adorable in it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab, what a great colour! You did a fantastic job on your first big project, and excellent progress on unravelling without having to start again (which I can still only do on very simple things!)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks lovely! It's a great little sweater. Well done.
ReplyDeleteoh how adorable! the pattern is lovely, i love garter stitch. if your feeling brave, you can unravel the bottom and stitch another inch or two!
