Hi all.
I’ve just finished this baby sweater made from my stash. This is Fairground DK by James C Brett. My friend asked me to knit two baby sweaters for her to sell at the church Christmas fair. This is the first one with another to go. I will get to the bottom of this stash!!!!! Haha!

Ahh that's so lovely .

Thank you. I’m not keen on knitting dolls clothes. I made lots when my daughter was little then three granddaughters.

My Mum knitted beautiful dolls' clothes for my daughters' dolls years ago. When I was having a clear out DH took them to the charity shop before I had a chance to put on their original clothes and save the ones my Mum knitted. My last link to her lovely knitting.

It’s truly gorgeous! I’d have put my babies in it x

You must have red hot needles, Purplepixie!

Purplepixie have you ever thought of making dolls clothes with your stash. When my grandaughter was little I bought a lovely preloved doll in a charity shop and really enjoyed making lots of dolls clothes for her. It might be something that would sell at a Chrismas Fair. I still look if there are any pretty dolls in the charity shops lol to knit for but no one to give them to now 🙁

What a lovely jumper! That is such a nice wool to work with. Wish I was going to your friend's church fayre.

That's lovely, Purplepixie. I would buy this for my little GS if I saw it and his mummy would love it.

That's cute.
I am so frustrated that I can no longer knit or crochet as I have a trapped nerve in my elbow and numb fingers. I used to love it.

How many hours a day are you knitting Purpkepixue, you are quicker than a production line😀 The jumper is beautiful.

I get so much pleasure from knitting and it’s like my liquid Prozac!

Got to show this to mum. She’s 98 and still knitting. I think she uses the same pattern as you and she’s certainly got a stash!

I thought the title was “ baby jumper made from my tash”.

It’s lovely by the way.

Lovely jumper and colours I'm sure it will be snapped up.

Aww that’s lovely

CarrotTop Fri 23-Oct-26 15:39:34

Oh, how adorable, and so well made!

Purplepixie Fri 23-Oct-26 15:36:45

Thank you. Yes, the yarn is self patterning.

That is lovely!

Another gorgeous jumper.

JenniRen Fri 23-Oct-26 15:24:13

I'm in awe, Purplepixie, you must be a very fast knitter.

Another lovely garment, well done. Is that yarn self-patterning?

How lovely. Lucky baby!
