I find myself getting fustrated quite often when it comes to finding my next knitting project - I have a huge shelf (or 5!) filled with patterns, yet I always find myself back online looking for something else. But towards the end of January, I found a booklet lurking underneath everything else - The claim was that the jumpers contained within would only use 4 ounces of wool. Then I found "The Jumper", aptly named "Really Charming". When you name your blog "It's a Charmed Life", you really want a jumper to match, right?
So there you have it, I liked the name of the jumper, and the small amount of wool required, so I knitted it... I daudled quite a bit as I have so many other things on the go, but none the less, it's finished:
Apologies for a less than beautiful snap, it's a bit dull here, and I was so excited just to finally take a photo I didn't bother setting it up, or weighing it!
Place your bets, does the jumper weigh 4 ounces? I will be weighing it and letting you know next time, there will be no prizes but you will be entitled to feel smug if you get it right :)
I'm so taken with this booklet I'm already planning on the next project. Pink, I think.
Oh, and just in case you're interested, the booklet wasn't dated, but I found an advert in there for a Summer school starting in July 1949 - Good enough for me!
That's about all I have to say for myself today, just to let you know I'm alive and have finished something (at last!). I have finished the cardi, but have yet to take snaps. Now I only have six knitting pieces to finish!
So I'll say good-bye now, wishing you all a lovely day

Hello All
Just a quick note to say that I'll be changing the name of the blog tomorrow. This was only a temporary name anyway, but the new name will be:
It's A Charmed Life
Just so that you won;t be too confused when you see a new name in your blog reading box and wonder which of your cats has been selecting "Follow" on random blogs
Apologies for the absence, but there's so much work going on in the house and I'm busy working too. I'll try and write something with a little substance tomorrow, if I can't think of anything else, I'll tell you about the ghosts
For now I'll leave you with a photo of this charming boy, Charlie
Until tomorrow, Jennie x
