Own design picture jumpers

I hope they reach the GC in Sweden soon Farmor ?

Unfortunately the recent jumpers haven’t reached the GC in Sweden yet- postal services very slow?.
Like Greyduster, I used graph paper to work out designs.

They are lovely Farmor! The last one of these I knitted using a proper pattern was a tank top with a star sign (glad it wasn’t anything more complicated than Cancer the crab!) on it for a friend. She loved it. When GS was young and still wearing my knitted creations, he wanted a sweater with a stormtrooper on it. In the absence of any available patterns, we reached a compromise with just the helmet! I worked it out on graph paper and it came out quite well (he was pleased anyway!).

Many little boys would just love a jumper like that Farmor.
Have your GC worn your newly-made jumpers yet?

P1234 - for my first attempt at picture jumpers I found patterns by Linda Moorhouse. These are the previous ones.

I paid a small amount to download the pattern but instructions were good and they came out well. She has some dinosaur designs, but when I was asked for insects this time I couldn’t find anything online so made my own with the aid of pixelated images.

Farmor........such great talent !!!

I just love your jumpers Farmore such a great talent. I've been a knitter and chrocheter for years but never designed anything more complicated than a beret.

Well done, Farmor.
Did anyone see the gran whose little DGD designed a jumper for homework, and like Farmor, creative grannie turned it into a real jumper for her?

What a success. You are very talented Farmir , and they are lucky children to be getting those jumpers.

Farmor15 you are clever! I am in awe of anyone who crafts anything, but to design too ???

Farmor15, I would love to know how you did them. I have just been asking about swiss darning. Any help would be appreciated. I have been asked to knit a jumper with a dinosaur on

Well done, it looks lovely.

What a good idea. They are lovely

Those are fantastic - you’re so clever!

So cute ?

They re lovely you are very clever to invent them

They are lovely. You have great talent.

Those are just stunning - how talented u are!
(Lol, now I want one too!!!)

Thanks for the compliments! They were fun to do, particularly the insect one. I used a basic jumper pattern I had used before, but had to test out the motifs first on a strip of knitting to see how they would look.

Well done. They will love them.

You should patent your design, farmor, or whatever it is you do with knitting patterns.
Copyright?

They will be thrilled.

Well done indeed!
It's a long time since I knitted sweaters with pictures and I never attempted my own designs.

Unfortunately they are too grown up for home-knitted sweaters now although DGD2 did gracefully accept a cardigan which I sewed up in lockdown after it had sat in the bag for a year. Luckily it still fitted her.

A triumph ?

How lovely, those children are lucky.

Well done Farmor15, they are lovely.

When DS1 was about 11 ish, he asked for a Starsky and Hutch jumper. Remember them?
DD asked for a yoked jumper with music notes, and it had to be playable!
So, she wrote the score and I knitted it. ?
