how to save a sweater

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about a sweater I was knitting as a sample for mum's sweater. While mum's sweater turned out okay [read the full story here if you haven't heard it already] the child's sweater did not.

But it has been saved! After a swim in the frogpond [where it was reduced to a body and two stumpy arms] it was kissed knitted again by a beautiful princess never-say-die blogger into this:


And just because it's my blog and I can show off if I want to to - some texture in the form of mock baby cables:

That's the end of the blue Panda "Baby Lustre" 8ply but I still have 500g of the mauve to use! Just as well it is knitting up more softly!

    The new jumper looks great! The baby cables add a really nice touch.
