I wanted to make something for a rare occasion in our family these days - a new ‘arrival’. Sarah’s baby is due at the end of the month and because of Christmas I only just got around to deciding what to make. I’ve had this pattern and yarn for ages but hadn’t managed to make it for my own grandkids before they got too big for the pattern. So it was a great opportunity to finally make use of it when my sister-in-law’s ‘step’ daughter announced she was pregnant. I hope she will like it. Not everyone’s choice of colour but I love this buttery yellow. It cheers me up at this time of year. It’s actually more sunshine yellow than it looks in my photo.
