I have a finish, and it’s in the post for my Grandson.
Rather pleased with how I managed to match the yarn around the v neck line. Right it’s Polar Bear time now.
That’s the box, I am knitting the right back leg, be a while I think. Love to know what everyone is knitting/ crocheting at the moment.

Very lucky recipients! Can’t wait to see the polar bear completed!
As I’ve said before, I do love that yarn, Well done on the finish and extra well done on the neck line.
Absolutely adore the polar bear pattern. Look forward to the reveal.
Thank you, and my grandson loves it.
The yarn colour changes worked out very well for the jumper. Not doing much myself lately.
Thank you, I know you like the yarn colour changes to work too. It makes a difference to my mind.
The jumper turned out great, he’ll love those colors I bet! The polar bear, so cute. As for me, I am weaving ends and then I have buttons and my cardi is done!
Oh those dreaded ends. but nice buttons are a joy to end on. No pun intended!
🙂 I got quite a few done before church this morning, then I started rearranging the sewing room, so now every thing is a mess!
That’s life!
Isn’t it though! Tonight, I’m going to do the last ends and sew buttons.
I feel a Hurrah post coming on, well done.
Your grandchildren are certainly the beneficiaries of your talent! I’ll look forward to seeing the bear come to “life”–he’s so cute!
I hadn’t knitted anything for years till Grandson H was on his way 12 years ago, since then there has been no stopping me.
Your grandson really does love bright colours, and I bet he looks as pleased as Punch in this flamin’ gorgeous jumper! Is the polar bear made of fluffy yarn, or do you have to felt him once he’s knitted?
The polar bear yarn is called snuggly snowflake and is wonderfully fluffy. Yes T does love bright colours, and I can’t keep up, favourite colour was yellow, now it’s green!
Lovely jumper, looks very snuggly 🙂 Polar bear looks very cute.
Polar bear is cute, but I need to concentrate to knit him.
What a lovely snuggly jumper. The Polar Bear is going to keep you busy!
It’s a lovely chunky yarn, I may make another one for him!
The jumper/sweater is gorgeous! Love those colors and I’m sure your grandson will be delighted. Polar Bears are special. I see a lot of work there. It looks like it will be so soft.
It reached him yesterday and I have just received a lovely picture of him wearing it, feeling very happy today.
A lovely bright jumper, I’m sure your grandson will be thrilled with it. I love the look of the polar bear, I look forward to seeing yours when it’s finished 🙂
The bear is a pattern which you think is simple, but you have to concentrate on every row for the shaping! The yarn is very soft and lovely to knit with.
Absolutely ❤️ that sweater!!!
Am trying to get up energy to put my blue blanket together, but it’s 83 degrees today—not very conducive to hands in warm yarn.
83 is very hot, andnot at all conducive to yarn work. We were down to 53 yesterday morning! It’s very wet too.
We could use some of that rain! 53 sounds like an excellent excuse for wooly yarn work. Hope you’ve managed to enjoy the weekend anyway. 🍁🍂
that’s a lovely bright sweater! I’m sure Grandson will be thrilled to bits ^^
I’m crocheting CAL squares, like Tialys, but have a lot more catching up to do than she does!
Is it the same Cal? I don’t like the pressure of the Cals etc, although I am doing the monthly stitchbook, but we have lots of time for that. It is good to be part of a crafting project with others.
I’m not really joining in as a CAL though. Just downloading free patterns as they come out and will be hooking at my own pace. I don’t have FB or other social media so won’t be part of all the “CAL gossip”.
I’m sure he’ll be chuffed to bits with his lovely jumper.
Who’s the polar bear for? Are you hoping to have it finished for a Christmas present? He’s adorable.
I’m trying to keep up with my crochet squares CAL but having to do some during daylight hours which I don’t usually do – sewing is for daytime, crochet and knitting for evenings. I’ll never keep up if I stick to that though.
Toddler J will have the Polar Bear, and it should be ready for Christmas, although I gift things when they are done and if a birthday happens to be close then they are held back for the happy event.
Lucky grandson!
Thanks.
