Knitted a jumper for myself

I'm going to send you the one I started for myself about 25 years ago, got stuck doing cables up the right hand front and never finished it.

You'll do it in an evening - then you can keep it 😁
It probably wouldn't fit me now anyway!

I’d kind that but I’d sent it back to you for you to enjoy.

Thank you Purplepixie.

When this blanket I'm making is finished, I might just take it out and finish it.

Sorry should have said lost and not list. Arghhhhhhhh!

My sis in law used to knit Arran cardigans for my DGD when she was small . She used good quality wool and they were beautiful. Lots of people would stop my DD and ask where she got the cardigans from. They were impossible to wear out so DGD would grow out of them eventually and DD would pass them on to one of the admirers.
This was over ten years ago but I bet there is still a little girl about wearing them . Sis in law has lost her sight now so is unable to follow a pattern and no longer knits .

Sad that your sister in law has list her sight.

When my youngest son was at uni I knitted over 100 hats for him to sell. They all went. Of course I let him keep the money but I often wonder where they went.

That's really good, I love the swirly pattern. You're very talented Purplepixie. You say it took two weeks? How many hours would that be, roughly?

I never count the hours but I mostly knit at night after tea. Thanks for the kind words.

It's really gorgeous and just like a fiery red
volcano to warm you on a cold day .
I've just been given some fabulous mohair .
I think that I shall knit it and line it.

Lovely jumper!
The last time I knitted anything for myself I accidentally did two cardigan fronts the same and never went back to it to finish it.

🤣

When knitting or buying a jumper, most just consider colour, type of yarn and so on when the shape of the neckline to really suit you is very important.
If you’re not sure then try on a variety of jumpers in your wardrobe, v neck, roll neck, boat neck, round neck and so on.
You’ll soon see what suits your neck, face and even figure.
Only v neck or boat neck jumpers suit me.

Another lovely jumper. I envy your talents!

A really lovely jumper, you are clever!

Only two weeks! Wish I was as quick. It looks super.

Thank you.

Very nice.
I like a bit of a stand up neck.

I love it!

Impressed you got colour continuity
Looks lovely

Thank you all for your lovely comments. Sorry, I don’t take orders. It took two weeks to make.

Beautiful, Purplepixie! I love a cable pattern.

You are such a talented knitter.

Another beautiful jumper - it does resemble a volcano , if I may say so ….

That looks so complicated. How long did it take you? And cosy but outdoor ish at the same time.
