Mindless knitting . .


These are my 21st and 22nd jumpers knitted since Stephen died. Same pattern - different sizes - different wools. Have to knit these jumpers with my eyes shut - pattern having disintegrated after 20th creation. I call it mindless knitting!  The wool stall is running out of different coloured 'chunky...'

Family think of them as my 'ugly jumpers' so most of them have been given to anyone who showed the least bit of interest and remaining jumpers sent to charity.

Having said that I was knitting the gold one for Polly -  (matches her hair)  and then -  blow me - she won a gold medal at the World Cup in Sydney so it was most appropriate. Whether she ever wears it is another matter. It is a bit 'bright' but so then is her hair. She'll be glad of a big warm (woollen) jumper when winter arrives. On second thoughts - has it ever left?
It will be useful to slip on after training. Or slouching around watching TV when the CH is off.

I finished the blue jumper the other day.  It's for my sister-in-law, Pamela - to wear when she's gardening. Had some extra blue wool so knitted a bobble hat using leftover gold wool to make the bobble more interesting.  I doubt she will ever wear it  . . but I enjoyed knitting the cap one evening when watching telly.

It's an interesting life folks, 'ain't it?

Am back to (limited) quilting which should perk up my life a bit more.  Hmm . . . .

TTNF.
