...and I've made a start.
I don't normally knit adult garments as I get bored but when I saw this huge box in the craft section at the Range containing everything needed to knit an "Olaf" jumper for just £4.99 - well it would have been rude not to take advantage.
So the box sat there for a couple of days.
When I finally opened it, there was all the wool needed, the pattern & instructions and needles...I say needles but they were more like bean poles - sooooooooooooooooooo long - they were discarded and I dug out my own needles which are a far more controllable length (I really can't work with needles that you have to tuck under your arms LOL).
So here is what I am knitting...
...and I have to say the instructions and pattern chart are very clear and easy to follow.
I have made a start...
...and at the moment I'm doing the 'boring' bit - I'm knitting the back of the jumper. This doesn't contain any patterning at all so should be fairly quick. I say fairly quick **rollseyes** as I'm at row 50 of 106 and am already bored so will have to do it in bite-size chunks otherwise this will end up in the UFO box. Thinking about it, the most sensible thing will be to take this to my "Knit & Natter" group each week as it is more likely to spur me on.
So folks, that is one project that I made a start on over the holidays.
My intention is to get it finished for Christmas 2017 and give it as a gift. Watch this space..................................................................

Looking forward to seeing this finished! I love Olaf! Apologies if I missed any posts, have been under the weather. Anne xx
i had to stop knitting and crocheting because my fingers cramp after a few seconds of holding the needles! yet, my crafting rarely bothers them. go figure.
what a stunning color blue!!! and can ya beat that price? i would have grabbed it too - even to give as a gift!
sounds like the new year is off to a great start!

hugs :)
Goodness that looks a difficult pattern but then I'm just about a knit and purl beginner. I look forward to seeing how you get on x
