My friend sells them on a stall and all the proceeds go to Cancer Research. My dad died of cancer aged 58. .

How lovely to be able to support a charity close to your heart. I don’t knit for charity as the costs/benefits just don’t add up for me. I like knitting with ‘luxury’ yarns, so items are expensive, and people just won’t pay for that - and they underestimate the ‘cost’ of knitting, which is skilled work, and should have skilled pay factored in. If more men knitted I think they might wise up 😀

I started a cable jumper for myself many years ago, didn't quite finish it and couldn't fathom out the cable when I picked it up again; it looks similar to that one. Clever you!

You are so industrious, well done.

Lovely little sweater. Some lucky child will be nice and snug when the cold weather sets in.
