New knitting project

Very exciting … a commission from the actual mother of a baby I knitted for last year – a year old now and baby Ava needs a proper little girl’s sweater in something thick and soft for running around in this winter. Took her mum to the wool shop at the weekend to choose the pattern and possum wool. A rather eye-opening experience for her I think. Especially when they didn’t have the wool in stock and one of the wool shop ladies took us aside and told us in hushed tones of a website she runs (bit of a surprise!) on the side where you can often buy wool that’s not in stock in the store … hmmm, *she* has stock and the store doesn’t … ?

Great to have a knitting project – this winter was looking a bit devoid of babies, scarves, kittens and test knitting.
