Olearia for Clare
There is a reason why I don’t knit. My Mum is so good at it, why would I need to?
The pattern is Olearia by Georgie Hallam, and Mum knitted it in 8ply cotton from Bendigo Woollen Mills. Clare doesn’t like wool against her skin, so cotton is a better choice for us. I think it’s gorgeous. The pattern has variations in sleeve length and bodice length and is so nice that it had almost convinced me to pick up needles instead of a hook myself – but Mum came to the rescue! There are over 90 of these on Ravelry already – it’s a popular pattern with good reason. Thanks again Mum for doing such a lovely job!
good for Clare … she has great taste in yarn, and so nice to have your mother making stuff too. I prefer cotton and bamboo as well. anything with either of them is a winner in the softness department.
Way to go Grandma! Looks well and truly like it has the Clare seal of approval to boot (that’s generally the sticking point around these parts)…
Love it! I’m off to Ravelry now to bookmark it – I’ve got the perfect wool for Maya too
That’s so pretty! It fits Clare perfectly. You’re lucky to have such a talented mum!
Lovely Colour & Design…Looks lovely on Clare & she looks pretty pleased with it too…
There’s a good reason I don’t knit either – I just don’t like doing it! Plus my mum is a genius with the needles, like your mum. I love Clare’s cardi. If we were the same size, I’d mug her for it!!
A gorgeous jumper on such a pretty little person!!!
It is so cute Lara. I think a lot of kids hate wool against their skin (mine included). Your Mum did a great job.
Great pattern – and the colour suits Clare so well!
It is so cool that your mom knits for you! That is a beautiful sweater!!!
