Hi all

I’ve just finished this little sweater using Aran yarn. I knit them for cancer research.
Knitting keeps me nearly sane! 🧶🤯🤗

Thanks for looking.

Well done .
It's gorgeous.
And it's very kind and generous of you to knit for a worthy charity.

Lovely and so many cables. A lucky recipient.

Beautifully made and a donation to a worthwhile charity. Well done you.

Well done - in all that hot weather too!

I decided it was too hot to crochet.

That's gorgeous. How you've managed to knit in this heat is beyond me. I remember knitting for babies when I was pregnant in summertime, kept having to go wash my hands in very cold water, but maybe it's only me that gets sweaty hands!

That's lovely yarn too!

Wish you lived my way, would be round for lessons!

whywhywhy Mon 23-Jun-25 20:41:09

I’d gladly give anyone lessons for free.

Very nice! I've slacked off on my knitting, and no excuses for warm weather here.

Beautiful jumper. Knitting keeps me sane too.

That's a lovely piece of work whywhywhy. It really is so great of you to do this for charities. I know how much time this takes. I'm sure the recipient will appreciate your time/work.

Is that a cable or a twist pattern, whywhywhy?

Whatever it is, it's lovely.

whywhywhy Mon 23-Jun-25 22:12:30

Cable stitch.

Allira Mon 23-Jun-25 22:13:21

Goodness, a work of art 🙂

Thank you all so much.

Absolute Fabulous.

You should knit similar things and put them for Auction for the Children of the well off and fashionable.

Then donate the money to Charity.
You are a very talented lady. Great style and taste. You know what quality is.

😻👍

I admire your ability and creativity. It is gorgeous - beautiful colour of yarn and set off perfectly by the turquoise toggles. A work of art indeed.

Absolutely in awe of your talent, I used to pay a colleague’s wife to knit Aran sweaters when my eldest two DS’s were small. I have attempted to knit but it never turns out the way it should. My friend’s mum always used to say if you can read, you can cook, knit or sew. I’m okay at cooking but not the other two

That looks so lovely! It cheers up MY day seeing that someone spends so much time and effort on a beautiful work of craft.
The additional fact that you are doing it for charity makes it even more special.
Well done to you and anyone else reading this who makes anything for charity flowers
