I haven't posted much about knitting, so I just thought I'd post up what I'm working on. I have been poking along on a knitted jumper for Sir C. He has chosen the pattern himself - his big brother had a Thomas the Tank Engine jumper, and has completely worn it out, so it is not suitable for passing down. Sir C has requested a replacement! Here is a photo of the pattern - but I'm not using all that yellow for a background. His will be a more neutral beige background.
I'm also working on a knitted circle baby blanket. It seems to be an ongoing long-term project, so I don't expect it will be completed any time soon! I do like how it's turning out.
I love to knit! I knit to relax, so my patterns are primarily simple, easy knits. I do much of my knitting in the car while I travel or while I'm waiting. I love that I can use my idle moments to create something both useful and beautiful! (working with my hands, as directed in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)

A finished Set - Princess Tunic
I haven't done a lot of knitting lately - I think I might be "knitted out" a bit (is that possible?) but I have been poking along at a couple of projects, as travel time allows. Last night I completed a set for Lady R. She picked out the pattern and the yarn over a year ago, now, and it is finally complete! She came down this morning and I presented her with her tunic (with flowers added, as she requested), and a matching headband, bracelet and ring from the leftover yarn. She was THRILLED, and put it on right away, happy to model it for me!
