My First Knitting Project

Well, since you guys all got me addicted to this knitting thing I thought I'd share my first knitting project with you.

I'm making DD a simple (very simple!) stocking-stitch sweater in cotton DK yarn. It's a kind of dusky rose pink, chosen by DD herself. I've done my tension swatch, adjusted my stitches and made a start. It's so exciting

DD is also very excited by the progress of her sweater, and regularly demands to "knit", meaning she takes a needle and prods the tension swatch with it! She's not at all impressed by being told that she can't do actual knitting until she's a bigger girl.

I'm taking it on holiday with us next week and plan to knit whilst looking out to sea from the Cornish cliff-tops

Zillah
