I'm really pleased with the yarn as I was worried it would be too bulky, but the alpaca content makes it a bit lighter
Dd is on a bit of a pockets kick so she's happy. And I'm pleased with the shawl collar as I didn't really know what I was doing with that.
The annoying bit is that I forget to set the sleeves in, which a thick jumper would benefit from. But she doesn't seem to care. The pleasing thing is that I managed to get on and knit it without interruption or distraction, which is vital when making it up as you go along if you want things to be vaguely symmetrical!

It's gorgeous :) Fantastic job on the shawl collar, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love it!!!! Xxx
ReplyDeleteI've been a slack blogger on my project too. Actually I prefer to think of it as a clever blogger. I kept this FO back so that I could post it when I didn't have another FO to post about - see clever, not slacker!
ReplyDeleteThat jumper is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a "clever blogger". I have a bunch of blacklogged FO posts that haven't gone up yet so when I have nothing else, up they go. Some of them are even partway written, haha!
What a darling sweater and little model. You should be pleased with your effort.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, that is just so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous sweater. Had to laugh, I was expecting a girls jumper. Jumper to me is a type of dress you were a blouse under, generally reserved for the fall and the winter.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a wonderful job with the jumper! I am very impressed that you made this up as you went along. I got a giggle out of your "not knowing" you were doing a shawl collar, which by the way does look great!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. Unusual to have a girl who likes brown instead of pink :-) Is it machine-washable ?
ReplyDeleteIt is adorable and she looks adorable in it.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! You did a wonderful job and she looks great in it.
ReplyDeleteReally cute, I adore the little shawl collar! And the pockets - ahh!
