Summer stripes

So. 

This jumper has been all finished bar the shouting for probably a few months now. All that remained was picking up the stitches around the neck band, darning the ends in, and attaching the sleeves. I procrastinated because I so wanted to get the picking up stitches around a curve right. I needn't have sat on it for that long, it was really quite simple. As always.

  

We are very happy with this jumper. That cotton is oh so soft and floppy. It flows and follows all the fast movements this small man makes. He put it on straight away and wore it for days. Sometimes with nothing else. It's already dirty. He knows how to make a Mama happy.  

It's a bit late for this northern hemisphere summer. We're days from it's official end and weather has been less that summery of late. Here's hoping it fits him for the cool summer evenings back home. But we'll wear it with necessary layers underneath for the time being.
