I made this sweater for a christmas present

I hope the little lad you made it for will soon be well. And I'm sure your jumper will cheer him up no end 😊

He’s still in hospital but under close supervision. Such a worrying time as his mam is also worried about her mam in another hospital. Not a good start to the new year for them.

Thank you but the little lad that the sweater is made for is currently in hospital and hope he is going to be ok. A virus that just will not go away.

Beautifully knitted. Well done 👍👍👍

It’s royal blue. Infact it is the left over yarn from a sweater I knitted for a friend in Scotland.
Here is the said sweater.

Lovely jumper well done!

Beautiful jumper. It's one of my favourite colours. It looks like Royal Blue in the picture, though that could be the lighting .

What a beautiful sweater and how kind and sensitive of you to use his favourite colour. I hope he loved it and is feeling better now.

Beautiful jumper, purplepixie, I'm very fond of a cable pattern. I particularly like how you've done the raglan, very neat.
I do hope the wee boy recovers soon and enjoys wearing his cosy jumper.

Thank you so much.

It's lovely, Purplepixie. Your knitting is very neat, and the colour is great.

That is gorgeous, well done you.

Oh Wow ! Cobalt blue - stunning sweater ..

What a beautiful colour! He'll look very smart in that. Lovely pattern. Good for you.

My gransnet has been ok, so far.

I haven’t heard if the sweater fits as the little lad has been quite poorly over christmas and they are looking to get him to the drs today. Fingers crossed that he is ok because he doesn’t eat solid food yet at the age of nearly 5.

Is there an issue with gransnet ... I'm unable to access any forums ?
Is I me or the gransnet site ?

Thank you for all of your kind words. Sadly I am not qualified enough to make my own patterns. This pattern is : JB642 - James Brett.

Gorgeous colour - lucky little boy !

Its gorgeous blue hope he findsit comforting

It's really lovely .
Well done .
I wish that I could knit like you !

It’s lovely Purplepixie, he will love it. Do you make all your own patterns up?,

That looks lovely Purplepixie. I do like knitted necks that stand up a bit. Great colour.

Lucky little boy. It looks so cosy.

Anything hand crafted is a real treasure nowadays with fewer people doing them. It’s really super Purplepixie, love anything with cables, and a perfect time of year to receive a warm jumper.

I’m sure he’ll love it!

Thank you to everyone for your warm kind words.
