    About

    It was love at first site. So I’ve found the time to knit something for me. I’m a redhead, so greens are a good colour for me. I’m enjoying knitting this, I love the contrast knitting and the geometric pattern. So far so good nothing too complicated. Easy to understand.
    Turned out to be a disappointment, the jumper knitted up much smaller than expected despite swatching, so ended up too tight for me knitted size 14. I couldn’t match the light green so ordered the cilantro but with there being no uk suppliers any longer , had to order from the USA and wait 3 weeks and pay additional customs charges. I don’t think the cilantro is very defined. Still daughter is happy to have the jumper , she is a size 10, I’m a 14.
    I did have an issue on the yoke, but dropped the designer a line, she was incredibly helpful and responded very quickly.:)

      Looking great, the pattern as well as the colors (love green)! Your stitches look very neat.
