Cold sheep still continues

My decision to go cold sheep continues. I have been delving into my stash to knit since August last year.

My daughter's friend wanted a wrap knitted out of sock yarn, like the one I had recently knitted for my daughter. The yarn was from Spotlight in a purple, black and grey colour way. She chose the One Skein A Stole pattern from Ravelry.


My sister asked me to knit something stripey for her friends baby boy. So I went to the stash and found some Bendigo 5ply yarn in black and white. I used two balls of black and one of white, the buttons are old shirt buttons that were languishing in my button jar waiting for the right garment to come along. I didn't block it I just sewed it all together as I was in a hurry to finish it before I went away.' I hope it will sit better once it is washed.

In August last year I started knitting Amelie from the Patons Sugar Fairies book. The red one is a size 1-2 years and the blue is 3-4 years. Knitted for my granddaughters.

I put some lace around the neck lines and forgot to take photos of the completed jumpers.
