Lucas Jumper

Lucas jumper

Knitting this cute little jumper for Lucas at the moment on circular needles – it’s taking its own sweet time as I’m using 3mm needles and a rather fine cotton, but it has a jaunty sailor air and I’m rather looking forward to seeing the finished article.  Mind you he’s growing at a rate of knots so I’d better look sharp about it in case he gets too big for it.

The yarn is Drops Safran by Scandinavian company Garnstudio.  It’s soft, good quality and very reasonable too.  They also do a nice range of needles and free knitting patterns, so definitely worth checking out.
