********************************

This was the second jumper I knitted. My mum had already knitted this for me in a lovely purple colour. I wore it out, I loved it so much. I fancied giving it a go myself, and so I borrowed the pattern. The majority of this jumper is stocking stitch, and so it wasn’t the most exciting thing to knit. The bobbles however, were really interesting to knit.

When I started knitting this, I did my tension square and found that I should probably use some bigger needles. I didn’t have the next size up so I just used two sizes up. Silly me. The jumper turned out far too big. Lesson learned. I’d love to knit this again, now I feel more like I know what I’m doing.
