round and round we go.

Dads jumper is coming along well but i am getting very bored with going round and round in the round knitting plain until the armhole and as dad is a very tall man i need to make it nearly 4 inches longer to its not like a crop jumper.
The very interesting part is yet to come where i add the sleeves in at the same time as knitting up the armhole shaping.

Before i add in the sleeves i need to knit both of them to the correct length and them add them into the jumper and decrease down using raglan sleeves.
i have started the sleeves but they are taking time but i should hopefully get the jumper done for Christmas.

But while out at a local wool shop i was able to get some buttons for the jumper as i was trying to get vintage buttons on ebay but they were too expensive and i could not get the 9 i wanted so i could have a spare.
