Although I have just found extra comments in moderation (sorry Christina!) so I’d better do a recount…
I’d need some more yarn anyway, so I guess buying enough for the first one isn’t so tough.
I’ve found this lovely cotton which isn’t overly expensive – but what colours?
I’m enjoying this. 🙂
Ooh, ooh, I found something on sale!
Do we like Flowers Variegated?
And I might do the other one in plain beige at some point as well.

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.

Flowers varigated is lovely but I like the green better cos i love little ones in really bright colours. As for the first yarn, the pink/orange/green looks great but if it’s for a really “girlie girl” then the reds would be fab!
The selling of mancala sets comment was on my blog – not yours – sorry!
Yep, I’m with Katy, like Pink Orange Green best 🙂
I like the pastels one -subtle, but not boring
I like the pastels one and the flowers variegated. My mum used to own a wool shop and I don’t think I’ve knitted since she sold it but you are tempting me….particularly as Carys wants to learn to knit.
I also like the pastels – again because any child could wear it. But, for some reason, pink/orange/green seemed to be both snappy and neutral. (Snappy meaning – exciting, hip, fashionable, chic.) I’d put the boy in a pink/orange/green item. (Then again, at the moment, he only wears orange or things with orange in them…so maybe I’m conditioned.
From knitters bazaar, I actually liked the green over flowers varigated. Again – any child could wear it.
Finally – you have beige yarn already. So it would save you the expense of buying new yarn. But, I’m always hunting for a jumper that goes with the clothing being worn at the moment. For some reason, I never have one clean when I need it. So – maybe beige is just a current longing I should investigate for myself rather than wishing it on other mothers.
