Nanna says she’s started Little Brother’s pullover and it’s looking good so far. She thought the colours might be a bit much, but they seem to be working. Little Brother really wanted triangles, and Nanna says she’ll try to work some in, but in the meantime, he thinks the stripes are cool.
(By the way, Nanna says you can see Big Brother wearing his Charcoal & Mint jersey here.)
This is what she’s done so far:
Nanna says she’s finally finished Big Brother’s jersey. She started it last year! Nanna says it was finished because it was a vest but Big Brother insisted he wanted it to have sleeves – and Big Brother is very good at insisting. So it had to wait until all her other stuff was done.
Now she’s gonna knit a jumper for Little Brother and Nanna says she’ll let him choose the colours. His favourites right now are blue, orange and red. He’s gonna look like a wonky traffic light!
Nanna says Little Brother is just the sort of Colourful Kid she likes to do her Quirky Knitting for. But she loves the colours Big Brother chose, too.
She’s also “stash busting” which Nanna says means using up all her old wonky wool. The orangey green thing might be a bag.
Nanna’s knitted a LOT OF HATS but they’re not for Little Brother – who doesn’t like hats, anyway – or for Big Brother who already has a snuggly purple hat.
The hats Nanna’s been knitting are to give away to kids who don’t have a Nanna or Mum who knits for them; or who need to stay at someone else’s place and don’t have time to take their clothes (Foster Hope). We’re lucky coz we’ve got lots of clothes at home and some at Nanna’s house, too.
So, can you guess what Nanna’s been knitting just now?
Here’s an idea: Nanna says it’s similar to – that means, kind of like – another one she knitted, but this one’s smaller. We’ll show you:
It’s going to be a hoodie!
It’s a bit like the tunic Nanna’s finished, that’s ready to buy:
Nanna just needs to add a button to this little rollneck acrylic cardi.
The colours aren’t too good; Nanna will try for some better photos when it’s ready to list for sale on her bronzart shop on felt.
Meanwhile, she’s working on a “Scorch the Dragon” hat in orange and green. It’s gonna be cool and a bit scary!
Check out Big Brother modelling this cardigan. It’s too big for him, but he’s not bothered!
It’s turquoise blue wool, double-breasted, with cables and double row of flowery buttons. If you like, there are matching mittens- Big Brother wouldn’t wear them, though.
Here’s where you can go to buy the cardigan – Nanna’s shop on Felt.co.nz, called “bronzart”: https://felt.co.nz/listing/308699/Turquoise-Blue-double-breasted-cardigan-plus-mittens
