Last night I finally finished the two jumpers for the girls. I usually knit them both at the same time when I am making the girls garments, to make it fair so they are ready at the same time, and honestly I hate it, and need to remind myself that I hate it next time. Knitting four sleeves one after another is one of the most tedious things I have ever done.
But anyway, they are finished, and although a bit roomy, the girls will grow, and the jumpers are lovely and warm.
My knitting technique has really improved and I am a lot more confident following patterns now.
I knitted ivy a pair of mittens from super fluffy yarn last week and was surprised to find that it was easy.
I have also learned that actually I don't particularly like knitting. Little projects are fine. A jumper is too dull for words and takes too long, so I think it's back to crochet for a while for me now.
I start work on Tuesday. I am nervous and conflicted. But apparently we live in a time now where being a full stay at home parent isn't really possible, no matter how bloody frugal you are. So onwards and upwards.
