Love this, the colours are yum and it's look stylish and comfy at the same time.

[sildil]

Thanks! And you saw me doing it too! It's much nicer in reality :)

It's beautiful! Sometimes I wish I had a knack for such things but all I can manage is to crochet scarves and potholders :)

[sildil]

LOL thanks! I haven't knitted for AGES, and now have the bug again!

Oh wow!! Is that one of those tunic length sweaters? I love it!

[sildil]

Thanks! It is supposed to be a shorter style, but Lizzie asked me to make it nice and long - it's about hip length I would guess. I haven't seen it on her yet!

Lovely! I crochet and am wanting to learn to knit next winter! I dont dare think i can make anything so beautiful!

Knitting is fun, I'm just TERRIBLY slow at it and then I get bored. A REALLY good book (where this pattern came from) is 'Big Knitting' by Sophie Britten, though I have to say SOME of her instructions were a tadge unclear, and I only knew what she meant because I know a bit about it, and her estimation of the amount of wool needed, certainly in this one, was grossly out and I had to buy more. BUT, it is still a really good book as you use huge needles and thick or fluffy wool and the stuff grows so darned quick!

Oh I wish I could make something like that. My Mom tried to teach me to crochet but nothing ever came out even, I always kept adding or losing a row :(

Very pretty!!!

[sildil]

LOL yeah, I did that with crochet! I could crochet squares, but that was all!

WOW! That turned out super cool! Makes me want to dig out one of my two yet-unfinished projects.
That looks so comfy! It's got cuddly vibes all over it. <3

[sildil]

Yeah it IS, VERY cuddly! FINISH THEM GET THE BUG KNIT

Mmm, that's nice! I used to love knitting but I can't do heavy stuff now, only kid's stuff which takes ages and by the time I've finished they've grown out of it LOL Still, roll on next year!

[sildil]

Thanks! Yeah actually it was surprisingly light, very fluffy wool and fast! I know what you mean about taking ages though, I've had kids grow out of several things I've started!

That is so pretty! I wish I could knit but I don't have anyone to teach me and I don't trust learning from a book. Lizzie is a lucky girl to have such a good mum!

[sildil]

Awww thank you! She got home from her weekend away yesterday and put it on, and it DOES look really nie on her!

that is lovely, I wish I could knit, I'm a crocheter. I would love to see a pic of her in it.

I can't crochet to save my life! Well, I can do squares, that's about it...and trying to get a photo of Lizzie in it, to order...that's probably as hard, but I will try :)
