Quick Knit Chunky Winter Set
I do occasionally swap my crochet hook for knitting needles, and this week I’ve made a winter set for my youngest child.
Knitting projects need to be quick and easy for me, or they are a non-starter, plus I have to pick yarns to match the hooks I have, rather than the other way around, so I chose a chunky yarn and found a colourway that spoke to me of the recipient.

Jumper Update
I’ve finished the main part of the jumper and the first sleeve. I’m beginning to hope I might actually get to the end of this project with a wearable article of clothing!
