In the flurry of excitement of an impending niece in September 2010 I bought rather a lot of yarn for several projects, and didn’t actually have time to make all of it up before she was born.\u00a0 Luckily I had bought enough of the Knits Picks Stroll<\/a>, 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon in Rouge, to make a cardigan a bit bigger than newborn size. However while I thought I might be able to eek out an 18 month size I wasn’t convinced I had enough for a 2 1\/2 year old so thought I had better make something with it this winter.<\/p>\n

I decided on the Child Surprise Jacket<\/a>, it is fun to knit and would be a bit different to a shop bought cardigan. I did actually manage to get most of the knitting done before Christmas, but stalled on the choice of fastening. After having found some suitable buttons in January I actually finished it a couple of weeks ago, and posted it off, and it arrived a few days ago. Last heard it hadn’t been tried on yet, but Jenny was carrying it around like a security blanket, so even if it doesn’t fit it might have its uses \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A fun cardi to knit, but I think it demonstrates that I don’t knit quickly enough to keep up with growing children! I might be sticking with hats for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
