I've just finished sewing Jack's pullover together. The pattern On the Shore, is from Knit Today magazine, April 2012. The yarn is wool I hand spun. Jack is nearly as pernickety as the competition judges, so I'm a bit cross with myself for not checking the front was absolutely symmetrical before knitting the neckband! Too late to change it now. I still have to block the pullover. I think I'll just wash it, make sure I get rid of any Kalahari sand left lurking in it. Jack's birthday is on Friday, so I've met my deadline.
It's wonderful! - and, as always, seems to have been knitted very quickly. Symmetry is overrated, tell him - and Happy Birthday as well.

ReplyDeleteI am sure that Jack will love the jumper, I am wearing my green one that I knitted, it is a cold day and it is keeping me warm.
ReplyDeleteWell done its looks to me and he may not notice, especially if you don't tell him. You could always say the pattern was like that.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Bravo.
ReplyDeleteJane Dear you have knitted a lovely sweater for your birthday boy. Truly a labor of Love and work of HeArt.
ReplyDeleteI did a sweater like that 35 years ago. Gave it to a friend that loved it. Yours is quite excellent, and with hand spun yarn? Amazing.
