Reindeer

So just after Christmas Jack asked for a retro, slightly naff in a good way, reindeer jumper. Apparently all the rage amongst the trendy youth of south east London. Despite a growing list of knitting obligations it sounded fun and a bit of a challenge. He was also in the last chance saloon given that the last garment I made him has hung underworn and forlorn in his wardrobe:

After many assurances that he would indeed wear the new jumper, I launched into a pattern search and after amalgamating a few from all over the place, came up with the finished article:


Made with Garnstudio Drops Karisma purchased from Scandanavian Knitting Design. Such good value yarn!Excellent quality as well. I've been having a bit of a yarn splurge from Bruce and Birgitte and it is all fab so far.

I am glad to report that it's getting regular wear. So much so that I need to sneak into his room and extract it for washing.....
