First Impressions Review : King Cole Cherish Baby DK Yarn

King Cole Baby Double Knitting;
Colour: 1596 Lagoon

The moment I saw this yarn on-line and how it knitted up, I wanted it. So obviously I purchased a couple of balls, along with a pattern. I am knitting from King Cole 4199, it has patterns for a waistcoat and jackets. I'm knitting the shawl collared jacket. I think they look really cute on little boys. 

I'm really enjoying this yarn, it is so soft, and the pattern way is so nice. I was knitting this the morning I went into labour! I attempted to do some to take my mind of the pain, I only managed a few rows.

Since my little boy has been born I've not had chance to finish this as quickly as I would have liked. But I am almost done. I've knitted the back, both fronts and one sleeve. So not much left to do! Overall I'm liking the yarn and pattern so far.

Ciao for now x

Forgotten Knitting Project

I am sooooo terrible when it comes to actually completing a project! I have quite a few on the go.

Last night I was scanning my mums magazines for a new knitting pattern, I haven't done any knitting for a while, I knew I wanted to do something with a cable in though. I found this cushion pattern, with a cable that looks like a honey comb pattern. I've decided I'm going to knit it in the Aran my nan bought me a few years ago! It's a lovely purple colour. Anywho,  I told myself I could not start a new project until I finish one I have already started! I'm very good at doing half a project and then forgetting about it. 

Last year I started knitting myself a cute jumper from Simply Knitting issue 90. It has a cool look about it, and looks super comfy. Last night I found it in one of my many project bags, I have completed half of it already! It's knitted in two pieces, arms and middle together. I only have to do the back piece sew it up and tah dah. Done, and brand new, knitted by me, jumper to wear to uni! I am knitting it in King Cole Riot Chunky.

I have even taken some photos to show you all!

I love the pattern in this.

Here is what it looks like from what I'm knitting it with.

Chunky needles! ;-)

The front piece, seems to be an odd shape at the moment...it may become the back piece!

Are you like me? Always starting projects and forgetting about them?
