It has to be said that knitting a jumper goes a lot quicker if you don't mess up the pattern on the shoulders - I completely missed the chevrons on the front shoulders, so I stayed up half the night to amend this.
In the original picture, the tie is in a bow, but I really like ties to be tied like ties, so mine is tied like a tie.
After all this work to finish a Summer jumper, it's still raining and I'm even planning my Autumn/Winter wardrobe... Please bring me a proper Summer!
In other news, today would've been George's Birthday, I just wished the sun could've shined for him today, he was a sun worshipper.
Anyway, I'm exhausted after all that knitting, I have another jumper which needs the pattern working out (how did so many patterns get printed without being checked first?!). So I'll wish you a pleasant Summer Solstice and we'll chat soon

ReplyDeleteYou don't happen to have a shop, do you? IF you happen to sell/custom make 30s knits, I'd love to know more (adelinesattic@gmail.com). Warm regards!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Fantastic colours as well!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteLovely jumper!!
ReplyDeleteWell done you, that's absolutely gorgeous we'll all have one please!! Happy birthday to your lovely (late) George, Lucey x
ReplyDeleteThat jumper is a beauty; the collar and those chevons really compliment each other don't they? I like that high ribbed waist too, very flattering.
ReplyDeleteGood to know I’m not the only one that seems to have troubles with the old knitting- some of the patterns are dreadfully written instructions! Looks good though and I love the tie. Talking about the knits, must get back to mine T x
ReplyDeleteI love that sweater! I have so much respect for knitters; I don't think that I have the dexterity or the patience for it! By the way, I have given you a blog award, although I've just noticed that it's one that you've already received...oops! Well, I do love your blog, so I hope you don't mind!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely color! I wish I had the patience to knit a jumper, I've only ever knitted a scarf! I like the touch of humor the tie adds, very cute and quirky!
