Charcoal and Mint (updated)

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 sold a jersey…

…and knitted a couple of new ones!

Nanna says she’s very happy someone bought her “Jump for Joy” jersey for their little kid and also some kids’ ugg boots.

We got beautiful yarn for Nanna for Christmas, and she’s nearly finished knitting a cardigan/jacket. The wool we got her is twisted blue and purple, and she’s knitting in some of the matching blue “for added interest”, she says.

We wonder what lucky little kid will get to wear it? Nanna says it’s probably too small for either of us, coz we’re big kids now.

can you guess what this is?

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:

she’s knitting for us, this time

After making quite a lot of things to sell, Nanna says she’s knitting winter jerseys for us just now. She’s nearly finished one for big brother, and then she’ll start on little brother’s one.

When they’re done, she’ll post photos of us wearing them. If you like them, you could commission one.

(Nanna, what’s comishun?)
