The baptismal outfit and the little duck sweater/jumper is wonderful. I can see that you learned from an expert. My, oh, my. I called you an accomplished knitter - what an understatement that was!!! I can't even begin to think about not using a pattern.

I always fancied making a blanket like that, but never thought of a jumper - I don't think I have the skill to make up a pattern - maybe I'll try it someday - I too learned to knit from my mother when I was very small, and while I can knit anything from a pattern I'd love to have a go at creating something myself ... You're inspiring me :) Fil <br />Filhttp://www.fil-campbell.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-1978075256175542014-07-20T07:23:22.493+10:002014-07-20T07:23:22.493+10:00You are most welcome, Hema.

I am in awe of your mum's work, as well as your amazing knit-as-you-go creations. The last picture with all the different patterns is simply amazing. I have already told my children that our family heirlooms will not be of the knitted variety (well, not from me anyway!); they will have to make do with quilts! I am so looking forward to your completed jumper!! PS How on earth do you keep track of where you are up to?

I must say that the knits that my mum knitted for my girls are treasured heirlooms.

I learned to knit and purl at my mother's side too, but after my teenage years, a scarf or two, and a couple pair of slippers, it didn't stick. I remember starting a sweater but not finishing it. Didn't help that it was probably summertime when, paradoxically, there was plenty of free time for such things but no A/C in the house at that time. Your sweater will be gorgeous and unique. I'm excited to see how it turns out!Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-73357241227304580732014-03-10T23:36:53.522+11:002014-03-10T23:36:53.522+11:00Wow!

I have some knitted sweaters my mom made for my kids, and they're highly treasured and were worn continuously as well :) Keep us posted with the progress, I love seeing knit patterns, and all together like this in one piece is such a treat!
