I knitted a sleeve for the baby jumper yesterday. Then I got up this morning and started idly trawling through Ravelry for interesting patterns, until I gave myself a stern talking to: one sock, one fingerless glove, one sleeve - anyone see a pattern here? So I knuckled down and have nearly finished the second sleeve (we're not discussing the sock or the glove at the moment).
I have a problem with this jumper however... It's one thing to knit away casually without a pattern when I'm knitting for my girls - I can always reach out and grab them as they whizz past and hold the knitting up against them. But it dawned on me as I knitted the first sleeve, that I have no idea how big a six month old is. So I have no idea if this sweater will fit or not. Now the obvious answer to that is that it could be given to an appropriately sized child if it's wrong. But - and here's where I stun myself with my own idiocy - I have knitted the six month old's name into the front of the sweater.
If it is hopelessly wrong I'll be offering it free on Ravelry to anyone who knows a baby called James...
