Finished, but I cocked up the ribbed collar.

Think it must be my misunderstanding the instructions, as no-one else seems to had the same problem from what I can see.

What do other people understand by ‘keeping rib correct’?

My increases came in the middle of a knit bit of rib, so I made the increased stitch a knit stitch too ie; pp k(k increase)k pp…

Anyhow, not so fussed that I’d re-knit it, and love the jumper anyhow; v soft and perfect size – all slouchy and cuddly

Miss Rosehip posted a comment about how I was getting on with the Magnolia jumper – it spurred me on a bit, so now I am up to doing the shaping for the sleeves… Just so you know

This orange fluff is some Kid Classic from the Liberty sale last year.

I can’t quite decide whether it is a garish Orange Squash orange and really awful or fabulous Sherbet Fizz orange and a delight to knit in the grey January days…

I’m erring towards the Sherbet Fizz and it made me laugh cause I was knitting the edge (doubled with Kid Silk Haze in Marmalade) the afternoon we were making…. marmalade!
