I'm behind behind behind! I've a post coming about the Stitch n' Bitch Day, but it requires photography, which requires light, which is in short supply round here. So here are some old-ish pictures of a pre-blog FO.
This is a jumper made originally for Anthony, a couple of years ago. It escaped the boyfriend curse by dint of only being worn once by him, before falling into my clutches. Ha ha!
I used the same basic shape as I did for the Wonder Woman Jumper (hurrah for Woolworth Knitting magazine 1973! And a calculator to re-gauge the whole shebang with!), and Rowan Kid Classic. I bought 4 balls of each colour, but I had almost all of the last two balls left over (and made legwarmers). It took about 4 weeks to do, is lovely and cozy, and gets a lot of wear (well, from me it does. Not so much from its intended recipient...)
A quick and pleasing knit!

it's so cute! it looks really fluffy and warm - what a great job. Definately better on you, methinks ;)
that's a great sweater! wow, that vintage pattern has certainly served you well!
Oh, it's lovely! So flattering. I really like the way the texture of the yarn softens the stripes. The edging looks great too. It's very cool indeed that the pattern is so truly vintage, as well.
Nice, take back is the way to go, especially with stripes.
Glad you're back on the horse.
Glad to see you're back...lovely sweater!
I love it! It looks so comfy and laid back, yet classic and well fitted at the same time.
Glad to see that you're back.
oooh - I love this. I always think it looks so cosy and warm. Love the colours too - kid classic has such a lovely range.
hi!
this weekend I bought a similar to this one but not in wool... yours is much warmer and cuter! I love stripes!
