K's Navy Sweater

 Needed to make sweater for K as I had one for each of his sisters

Bought a huge ball of yarn which seemed thin enough to knit up as  DK knit UK style

I found this old pattern which seemed just perfect for a growing school boy

so here it is:

If I was to knit this again I would change the raglan to cast off 5 at the armhole and then decrease one stitch at each side on every knit row.  Decreasing 2 for the first 2 knit rows gives a very steep curve

Pattern: Bellmans 608
Size: 26 ins
Yarn: Lion Brand Pound of Love
Colour: Navy

R's Pretty in Purple Cardigan

 This yarn came from a kit for a scarf and hat
Finally realized that I am never going to make that so I used the yarn to make this cardigan

All the yarns are DK and coordinate well
There maybe just enough of the other colours to make a little one for Miss B too

Quite happy with the way it turned out
Knitted the body in one piece to the armholes so that the stripes match exactly
Had a bit of a panic that there wasn't going to be enough purple yarn so added the green stripes.  
As it turned out I had a whole ball of purple yarn left at the end but I wasn't about to rip all that knitting out
