Along the James River Progress

Just a quickie post to update you on my pre-stitching progress - my colonial scene is growing steadily and I've started building my house.

The knitting project I'm focusing on at the moment is a jumper for Rosie, she asked me to knit her one at the end of the Easter holidays so we took a trip over to Baa Ram Ewe and she chose a pattern and the wool. The big surprise was that the wool wasn't pink! Unfortunately I the size I started knitting proved to be too small so I had to rip back and restart.

That is such a pretty project, and it looks like fun too - lovely stitching. It's a shame you had to restart the jumper, but it's looking great.

Wow, your James River is just gorgeous. I can't wait to see the jumper and sorry you had to rip and start again but that just means it's got extra love stitches...lol

Ah, such a pretty scene! Really lovely stitching, Karoline. And how lucky Rosie is to have you to knit something which she personally chose :)

I like Rosie's choice of colour and your stitching project is a very pretty design - it looks very detailed. I'm looking forward to a visit to Baa Ram Ewe in August as I hear they have opened a new shop in Harrogate.
