Someone’s been busy…

… and I’d like to say it was me. However, this wonderful sweater is the handiwork of Elisabeth Thomsen.

At the beginning of 2012 I published a post about knitting A PROJECT (click to read), as a result of which I was contacted by Elisabeth, who lives in Denmark, for a copy of the pattern. Another reader wanted a copy but unfortunately an email blip meant that I lost the contact details.

Last week Elisabeth emailed a photograph of her friend wearing the finished Aran sweater.

I love the rich colour; in a longer length it looks more contemporary, in line with current fashion. Well done, Elisabeth!

Where’s my knitting bag…

      Doesn't it just. Mine was in the traditional cream Aran. I must dig out that 30 year old photograph of mine!

    Absolutely beautiful, Gaynor. Sadly for me, I am a lousy knitter -- all lost stitches -- unless I gain them!

    That does look good... I am just on the cusp of starting knitting again. All I need is a few rainy days..

    Wow, great job. I love everything about it. My mother was an avid knitter and tried to teach me many times, alas to no avail.

    My grandma taught me to knit, "In, over, through, off". Beautiful work! I once made something similar, in red. I still have my first aran pattern, publshed in 1964 and much used - you should see the eyeliner on the model! P.

    Now that's some sweater! I've just got out the sweater I began last winter... at this rate I estimate it will be finished by 2034!!
