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

Lovely colours! I've always got something on the go, too - right now, a purple sleeveless pullover for DH (chunky), a petrol blue one for me (DK) and a whole box of knitted squares I'm gradually sewing together for a poncho. Can't just sit and do nothing!

Thank you so much. I haven’t got anyone to knit for anymore just hubby , kids and gran kids all grown up but I do enjoy it.

Lucky hubby..it looks so cosy and a great colour..

Years ago now ok knitted oh a jumper he wore and wore it until it started looking scruffy, I wanted to send it for recycling he wouldn't let me said it was knitted with love so kept it, years later it finally went .

Terrific knits whywhywhy and Harris27.

I used to knit for DH, and now do a double take when I see DS and SiL in his jumpers. They can't have thought they were awful.

Not sure I feel like starting a big project in case I get ill again and can't finish it. (The only thing I couldn't cope with after my DM died was her unfinished project.) So I'm doing close-fitting fingerless gloves in a merino/silk/cashmere yarn for musicians sister and DiL who hate rehearsals in freezing churches.

Both of the jumpers are beautiful. Well done!

Beautiful work both of you. I do knit, but your products are Premier League and mine are more ...Southern Division..

Harris27 well done! It looks great. I’m staying a few days with friends in the Scottish Borders in the snow. Knitting a cowl this afternoon.

If he doesn't want it can I put in a bid? wink

Lovely.

Greyduster Mon 06-Jan-25 07:02:44

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😁!

BlueBelle Mon 06-Jan-25 06:50:31

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
