Hubby asked for a sweater to be knitted and he picked the wool. Knitting keeps me sane.

Fantastic whywhywhy I agree. I always have some knitting on the go. A sweater for me this time

That is lovely. I want one!
I can't knit to save my life though.

That is really nice and I’m sure it will be appreciated.

He loves it and has picked the wool for the next one.

I haven’t knitted a garment for years I knit scarves and squares for cuddle blankets usually for dementia patients.

Thank you.🤗

That’s really nice how clever I wish I could knit
I used to crochet a lot and did some lovely items but after about a forty year break I ve tried again recently in fact I ve tried a few times but I can’t follow the patterns at all now so have given up trying and it’s disappointed me
I bet your husband in pleased

That’s really lovely - my DD would probably like something knitted in that yarn. Hmm! Thinks……. I am knitting with a King Cole pattern at the moment. If it still fits me when it’s finally finished it will be a miracle😁!
