Stash Busting

In 1986, I knitted Liz a "robot jumper" using odd balls of wool from my stash. She loved it, and later Steph wore it. Back in February 2016, Ros
 came into our lives. I'd bought some blue wool in a sale, and knitted a jumper for the teddy bear Liz had when she was born, and a jumper for Rosie (9-12 months rather than newborn) The spare blue wool went in my stash

When George was two, in 2022 I used that leftover blue wool and some other random red and black yarns to knit him a robot jumper.

For Christmas 2023, I bought a lot of yarn from Wool Warehouse and knitted 4 Safari sweaters, for George, Jacob, Jess, and great-nephew Arthur [a similar blue background)

The leftover wool went into the Stash. Christmas 2024 I knitted Rosie a jumper, using a pattern I'd knitted for somebody else forty years ago and wool from the Safari Stash

She loves her horse jumper. Then Steph and I were on a WhatsApp call. Jacob was in the Robot Jumper, as George has sadly grown out of it.

So I've used more of the Safari Stash (lots of ochre) plus some green, to knit a new Robot Jumper for George!

I'm not sure what I shall knit next, but it may involve stripes!!
