one worried octopus


Another Debbie Bliss raglan sleeve jumper - this time in some random acrylic/wool mix from the odd-ball stash. I was thinking of this pressie for a little new bubba called Alec and put an teal octopus on the front. But then ..... horror of horrors...


.. when I suddenly realised I had sewn the sleeves together instead of the body side seams!!! Darn damn darn and I had done such a solid job of the stitch up there is no way those side seams were going to come apart. maybe I should have done mattress stitch afterall!

Do you think it would still fit a newborn? Maybe I could stitch the GI-gantic flared sleeves into position.... oh dear concentration levels at all time low.
