i've made my own picture patterns before but this is the first time i've gone completely from scratch (as opposed to based on another jumper's design) on something so big. i made this jumper/dress based on my nana's dog and i'm going to send it over to her with my mum when she goes to visit soon. it goes a bit longer than this but it looked like i wasn't wearing pants and it was like 30c at 10pm at the time of photographing so i was not putting on anything longer 😂
it didn't take as long as my previous jumpers, possibly because the actual pattern is a lot smaller than my previous designs and it's only on the front, so a lot of it was just knitting green. i started it in mid/late january and i had to take a break for the red wool to come back in stock. i used paintbox super chunky and the photo is pretty true to life in terms of colour, it's really lovely. it's also very soft to touch, machine washable and super affordable, which is why it's my go to!
i need to stop making jumpers for other people because it's so hard to give them away when i'm done! hopefully the weather cools off enough for me to sneak in a couple of wears before i send it to nana!
