I thought I would share a little chunky jacket with you today. I am afraid that my photographic skills really let me down when it comes to knitted objects and I could really do with some tips on how present them to show them at their best.
It was quite a challenge for me to make this jacket as it had several stitches I had never tackled before, including a cable stitch,
I bought this DK pattern from ebay, it is only referred to at 'Knitting Pattern 398'.

Oh wow!! This is great! Stunning work again. Such patience you have. Temperature has gotten a little warmer in my area as well...I cant wait for the Spring weather. I really dread cold weather. Who did you make this little coat for?
ReplyDeleteThank you. I made this for my new great niece. I actually made about a dozen little cardigans and jackets for her whilst my niece was pregnant. I still have most of them to post.

Thank you Carol, this was only my second attempt at cable stitch. This pattern does not require a cable needle, which is just as well because I constantly drop it!

Wow Dionne, I am floored over this one! How beautiful the pattern is, and it looks flawless! I wish I had the stamina for a hobby like this. I started a blanket about a decade ago, and just last year, I finally threw it away. Wonderful work my friend. Hope all is well, sending hugs :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Knitting came to me late in life, I never had the patience for it when I was younger, I thought it grew so slowly. To be honest, it still grews slowly, which is why I stick to baby and toddler clothes.
