My brother gave me a box of wool that belongs to my SIL. When they moved they came across a mixture of items. About 6 jumpers that had been started. Not completed. Not all bits there and not much wool to finish them. A pile of odd wool and a heap of patterns...
So I have put my thinking cap on to see what I can come up with...
Here is project no. 1...
 |
| The front and back were done and a little bit of a sleeve. I joined a shoulder seam and have done the neckband |
 |
| This is all the wool that was with it. Not enough cream to do the sleeves. |
 |
| The pattern book is ATTITUDES....by Patons. BOOK 784 This is the design that has been knitted across the bottom above the band |
 |
| This is the pattern that is being followed because it is a 12 ply CHARM with Mohair by PATONS that is being used |
Let's see what I can do...
I thought I might start with black bands.
Work some stripes then continue with purple.
Add some more stopes and finish off with the cream.
I won't be adding a fairaisle band at the top of the sleeve. The graph is not in the book and I really don't want to use all the yarn carried at the back of work....

Goodness, this all looks very complicated - far beyond what I could even think about! But I know you will come up with wonderful things! Watching your future blogs for progress.
You do like the complicated don't you Jo. This will look wonderful when done and I am super impressed with your splendid sampler blocks.
