Humble beginnings

This is my progress on my newest knitting project. The ribbing for the back of the tank-top jumper that I decided I'd knit.

This will be the first piece of clothing that I've knitted apart from my socks. I've knitted hot-water bottle covers, scarves, cushion covers and blankets, but never something I can wear. I looked for the simplest pattern possible but one that I know I'll wear. And the green? Because I can't seem to get enough of the colour, I've become a little bit of a closet green-a-holic!

About Me

Name: VintagePretty

Location: United Kingdom

An avid tea-drinker who likes Nutmeg in her coffee and warm lavender-scented quilts. She knits, crochets and partakes in random acts of craftiness (and kindness). She can often be found outside, in the garden with her faithful doggy companion, and a cup of tea. Reading is a pasttime that she enjoys muchly, so too is moving furniture around. She writes haiku about nettles, would like to swim with seals and become completely self-sufficient.
