Stephie at 10 and her Teddy

My grandaughter Stephanie turned 10 recently (HARD TO BELIEVE!), so the last few weeks I was busy knitting this summer cotton cardy for her, plus one similar for her favorite Teddy. All packed in a pretty box with geetting cards plus some $$$$ from John, it all arrived to her on time via Post,.... and she was delighted, as they said.
Stephie a los 10 con su Osito: Mi nieta Stephanie cumplio recientemente 10 anios (DIFICIL CREERLO!), asi que estas ultimas semanas estuve muy ocupada tejiendo este saquito de algodon para ella, mas otro parecido para su osito favorito. Todo bien empaquetado en una caja bonita con tarjetas y algunos $$$$$ de John, todo le llego a tiempo por Correo,...y ella estuvo encantada, asi lo contaron.

My son John gave us a shock with his accident. Jimmy and I spent long weeks at his bedside. So to keep my calm as much as possible I knitted a few more jumpers.......

So here is a cardigan that I just finish for her. It was meant to be her birthday gift, but is too long until July..... and since is ready.....

I knitted it in a lovely 8 Ply purple wool, with a few roads of cables.
Perfect for every day of jeans and running around in her busy life.
