I am so excited! Big news to share......I finally finished my first jumper!

Let's jump for joy!

I'm feeling pretty chuffed about this one. I've been knitting for a few years but never really made it beyond tea cosies and scarves. I wanted to start with a nice easy pattern, nothing to tricky to fit. One of my friends at work has this gorgeous wrap jumper she's been wearing a lot this winter so I've been keeping an eye out for a similar pattern. When I saw this one on Ravelry by Perl Grey, it was love at first sight.





I was down at my folks place, about 20 minutes outside of Canberra, this weekend for my brother's birthday dinner. My little sister has a great camera and sweet photography skills so I actually had a chance to do a little photoshoot.

A nice one out in the garden

I knit it in a Morris and Sons yarn, they were having a sale, I was in a desperate knitting stage and wanted wool RIGHT NOW so it worked out quite well. It's a wool, alpaca, silk blend. It's incredibly lovely and warm, I've worn it about 4 times already. Pssst, little secret...I'm still yet to actually block it! I was just so excited to darn the ends in and wear the bloody thing I couldn't bare to think of having to wait for it to dry in this cold weather. I will do it at some stage though.

Not sure what's happening with my hands here....wacky wrists!

I also wanted to share with you the delicious and crafty cake my little sister made for my brother. He's an accountant .....

It tasted as delicious as it looks!
