Maja’s knitfest, and a little Ravelry
Baby Jasper digs his hoodie
Remember Maja? She emailed today to share one of her creations for son Jasper. Isn’t it gorgeous? Just so soft and cosy-looking, it also seems to have some complicated knitwork going on there… I’m so impressed.
Maja’s top tip for knitters and aspiring knitters is to sign up to Ravelry for patterns and links to people everywhere knitting and crocheting – it’s like Facebook for crafters, apparently. I’m onto it.
And we shoot all the final images for book four tomorrow and this Saturday, plus the design awards (where A Life in Frocks has been nominated) are on Thursday night… very busy few days ahead. All fingers and toes crossed the sun shines on us, and my cold magically disappears. Wouldn’t that be lovely?
Down with the J-crew


I love it! Does she have a link to the pattern?
That is gorgeous! Ravelry is absolutely amazing, i would recommend it to anyone who knits. I don’t suppose you happen to know what that pattern is, by the way? Interested in knitting it up for my sister’s bump! Love the blog. x
What a cute little Bub
Thanks for the lovely comments on Jasper and his hoodie. The pattern is ‘Jasper Diamond Hoodie’ from ‘Vintage Baby Knits’ by Kristen Rengren.
PS We didn’t name Jasper after the pattern… we just liked the name ; )
