Happy Christmas. I've knit my mum a jumper too. Let's hope they both fit. Your cardigan is beautiful already and it's not finished yet. X

Have you finished it for your mum? 🤪 not going to lie, I’m not going to get the berries done in time 🤣

[@GagaKnits]

​@@knittingwithbettyI have. Although the cabling went a bit wrong on one sleeve. She'll never notice. Your mum's jumper looks just as nice without the berries. X

About 30 years ago I bought from Shetland a woolly board. I think that's what it is called. It's a wooden frame used for blocking jumpers in sheltland and works a treat. It's not solid wood so has really good airflow. I don't know if they are still available.

Ahh yes someone else suggested one of these to me! I shall have to investigate!

Happy Christmas Betty!! Well done for finishing your mum's jumper. You'll have to let us know if it fits. Can I please ask what is the red cardigan you are wearing today? It is really nice, is it one you made or is it a store bought? If you made it, do you recall the pattern? Also, I don't suppose you know how much ease it has? Sorry for all the questions, I'm planning 2025 and you've influenced me 😊

It’s a bought one from Emmy, a Swedish company. Think it was called the ice skating cardigan ❤️
