Those of you who have followed my blog for a few years will know that the Tour de France is a time when I head off to bed at about 1.30 in the morning. The Tour starts on television about 10.00pm each evening and I am couch bound until 1.30. During the Tour is when I get a great deal of knitting done, as previous posts about the Tour will let you see what items I have completed in previous years.
This year I had already started a project and I have actually finished it and there is still at least a week left of the Tour. I will need to start another project!
The item I have finished is a fisherman’s rib jumper for my grandson.
I got the pattern book for 30cents at a thrift shop and the wool was frogged wool from The Jolly Jumbuck when it was closing down. The wool was a real bargain. The Jolly Jumbuck no longer operates a shop front but you can buy wool from their website.
I’m not too sure how the frogged wool will wash with the non-frogged stripe but hopefully it will be ok. The colours are for his AFL team Carlton.
It will certainly be warm as it is a heavy jumper.
My stash is slowly going down.
I am sure Lewis will love this one!
It is a bit big for this winter but will be fine for next.
It looks lovely and warm.
Fisherman’s rib means it is double thickness so super warm.
Perfect for our weather now.
