Hi all
Well I have the knitting bug lately but it is helping to combat depression, so something good is coming out of it. I’ve knitted it for my friends little grandson aged 3. Knitted with James Brett marble chunky - my favourite wool

I love the colours, you have such an eye for the combination of colour and texture.

That is lovely.

It’s lovely Purplep, you’re very talented. The little GS will be thrilled with it!

It is lovely and cables keep it interesting.
I love knitting and find it very relaxing. I’m sure that knitting is calming, helps with stress and depression. I hateto be without a project. Keep up the good work!

You are clever, it's such a lovely talent to have, well done.
You can't beat a home knitted jumper at any age.

Looks lovely could knit another one please but a little bit bigger.

What a lovely jumper, I've just finished this, very similar colours. I agree knitting does lift your spirits.

That's beautiful...oh to have such a talent !!

I like the pattern. Did you find it on line or have you designed it yourself?

Ailsa43 Mon 28-Nov-22 15:27:20

LadyGracie...wow, yours is beautiful too.. such talent here ..

I do like that. Will be really warm. Where did you find the pattern ?

That looks so cosy!

LadyGracie Mon 28-Nov-22 16:49:45

Thank you. It’s a Sirdar Country Style DK pattern, no. 8435. I knitted it in Sirdar Escape wool rich DK. 51% wool 49% acrylic and yes it’s beautifully warm.

Purple Pixie I was wondering about the little jumper!

LadyGracie Mon 28-Nov-22 17:13:03

Sorry, my mistake.

fairfraise Mon 28-Nov-22 17:29:04

Yours is great too!

Purplepixie Mon 28-Nov-22 22:04:27

LadyGracie - I love your sweater. It does look like the same wool.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words.

Lovely, I’m not practical and lack patience for something like this and really admire those who do.

LadyGracie Mon 28-Nov-22 23:48:47

Thank you Purplepixie. Are you starting something else now.
I pick up my knitting as soon as I sit down, plain when I'm reading or watching TV and patterned when I feel like concentrating on it which I enjoy more.

Lovely! I find knitting so relaxing - my dog has quite a few jumpers!

Caleo Mon 28-Nov-22 23:58:51

purplepixie, the cables look very cosy . I hope the wee man will feel nice and warm in it.
