I finished knitting Ben's jumper today. It took me quite a while but there was a lot of yarn to knit. I'm pleased with the end result and I think Ben is too. It's maybe a bit on the large size but better too big than too small I guess. Victoria helped me tie up… Continue reading I finished knitting a jumper
I knitted myself a jumper. I've crocheted for years and years but never really tried knitting until this year. I made myself the same jumper I knitted for Elizabeth but in a different colour.

Our recent glamping holiday on a luxury bus was on an alpaca farm (pics here and here). I bought a couple of balls of the lovely yarn from the Bankrugg Boys and made myself a hat over the weekend.
