Yarn

Darling uncle bought me 800g of a rather nice blue aran. I really love the colour, and I want to make something for myself.

However there is the minor matter of not having a pattern. And as I am a ahem larger lady, 800g does not cover all patterns, not by a long shot. A nice plain sweater would be great.

And of course there is also the half finished sweater and the half finished jacket for myself and the sweater that was for darling father for father's day and I'm still on the second cuff with an identical sweater cued up for little bear. Little bear, when informed of the plans for a sweater, rolled his eyes and spread out his hands to heaven, 'I already have lots of sweaters' he said in exasperation. He hates wearing them as well, hence the plan to make him one like grandad's. In hope that he will actually put something on that is warm.

I really love the colour of this new aran, though, and I am desperate to start something new as a boost, as I am really trying to restrict my spending.
