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.

I think knitted garments are so lovely on small children but mine have reached the age of sportswear!

I love it and would buy it if I had a grandson. However, I don’t. I hope some cute person gets to wear it.

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

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

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.

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.

😻👍

Is that a cable or a twist pattern, whywhywhy?

Whatever it is, it's lovely.

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