Hi all

Just finished this jumper for myself. Used leftover wool from my stash. James C Brett wool and knitted from a basic pattern.
Thank you for looking. X

Very colourful, hiw long did it take you?

I'm crocheting a baby blanket with James C Bretttt wool and find ut splits and us of uneven thickness, how was it for knitting?

So do I. It’s lovely.

Thank you all so much. The wool is easier to knit than crochet. It took me three weeks. Knitting keeps me sane because I battle with depression. 🤗🤗

Love it - I couldn’t knit my way out of a paper bag!

That's a lovely jumper. Well done you!

Good for you! How lovely and colourful. It would look nice with jeans or grey trousers.

I think it's great! I used to knit years ago but can't anymore because of my hands/fingers.

Well done- enjoy your handiwork!

It’s fabulous, and best of all, it’s unique.

Which stitch is it?

Love the colours and the beautiful stitches . Hope you are proud of it one talented lady .

Well done, it looks very professional. I think I could knit a scarf maybe, but anything requiring sleeves is way beyond me! Enjoy wearing it.
