Knit happens
On the knitting front a dismal summer effort on my part at least has been slightly atoned for with a bit of an autumn flurry. Struck last week by the realisation that Jacob, while blessed with an embarassment of riches in hats, beanies, jackets and jumpers is lacking in the scarf department I've launched myself into action. A rather uninspring but very practical ball of wool, was promptly whipped into a long and serviceable, if not particularly attractive scarf. It strikes me now that I'll have to knit a beanie to match.
Meanwhile, there was always the plan to knit an orange Pumpkin hat but before this could be realised the ugliness of the first scarf had propelled me onto a second, in Rowan's Cork Delight, to go with the as-yet-non-existent Pumpkin hat.
Hot off the needles from Ijsselstein comes the latest offering from Oma, a cable jumper in which Jacob looks very handsome indeed.
Not to mention a very handsome blue number that arrived with grandma from Australia at the beginning of the summer. It has languished all summer long in a drawer but I'm here to say, its day has come. The weather is turning cold and this blue looks so handsome on Jacob, the collar is very dapper too!
But its Great-Oma Smits in Vianen who is just plain showing off with Jacob now coming home weekly with a new pair of socks!
