A long, long time ago I was reading a lovely blog and came across this picture....

After getting some info about the jumper from Nicola, I found out that it was manufactured and not home made...but that was ok, as I wanted to recreate it anyway for Little Miss....One day.
This has been at the back of my mind for some time and I kept thinking "I will make that some time".
The the other day, I found myself at a bit of a loose end and wanted to start something new.
Now, Hubs and I have just started a new diet/fitness regime and I'm feeling really positive about it (Ive already lost 5lbs !!) So I wanted to make an item of clothing for me to wear when I'm a bit smaller....Something to motivate me, if you like,
So I went searching though Ravelry for a Jumper/pullover pattern that I could adapt to fit these stripes.
I found this...

Simple and easily constructed, and suitable for DK yarn.
And so it started....
This is just the front and front pocket so far. It is difficult to get a real sense of the colours...they really are lovely and not quite as "in your face" as they seem here!
I think I might omit the hood and change the neck edge to a yoke or similar...I haven't decided yet.
I will keep you posted on the progress of my "motivation jumper"!
Thats all for now. Until next time, you take care now x
