Knitting for the kids ...

Raven (not happy with this one)

Simple Cables

Ski sweater

Finally completed the cable sweaters for the boys and have begun a new sweater for The Princess.
The boys sweater are Rowan All Seasons Cotton.
The ski sweater for The Princess is Debbie Bliss Merino Chunky (not cashmerino). I've had the DB merino chunky for a while and was lucky enough to purchase a few more balls on Ravelry a while back. Holding my breath on this one as I'm not too sure whether I will actually have enough yarn to complete, but of course will improvise if needed. Yes, I have more, in a similar colour, very close to this particular colour. If need be I'll swap colour halfway through the snowdrop pattern and all should be fine.
Do not have a pattern for either of the kids knits, just winging it. I did begin to knit Raven for the boys with the All Seasons Cotton, but was not happy with the way the pattern looked with this yarn. Cable look good in just about any yarn. Easy ... yes?
Busy with school holiday activities, but should still have time to complete a couple more sweaters before winter ends.
Enjoy the holidays!
