\"Sophie's<\/a>I met Sophie just over a year ago. In the past year she has become my closest friend and i knew I had to make her something super special for her birthday!<\/p>\n

Sophie’s jumper was months in planning. I was very sneaky. I ordered some yarn and a swatch book, and then carelessly (carefully) left the swatch book where she would see it, so I would know what colours she liked.\u00a0 Then a few weeks later, I told her a teensy weensy half lie about doing a garment grading course and could I please measure her? Of course she said yes. I’m very crafty. (Geddit?)<\/p>\n

\"Sophie's<\/a><\/p>\n

Measurements in hand I used my rudimentary knowledge of garment creation and dreamed up this sweater.<\/p>\n

Knit in BK Tweed Loft ( the colour is Stormcloud) on a standard gauge Singer knitting machine and then the pieces were mattress stitched together. Then I picked up the stitches for the hem, cuffs and neckline and hand knit them.<\/p>\n

A note for any machine knitters out there thinking of using BK Tweed in your machines. Proceed with caution! It snaps, A LOT. If you’re prepared to knit very slowly and check each row, go for it.\u00a0 It does look fabulous once done though.<\/p>\n
