This jumper was for a commission which came in through the website, and I’ve been working on it pretty steadily for about six weeks.
These pictures in no way illustrate the enormity of this jumper. The dressform is set to my size. When I tried it on, it came down to my knees.
I now completely understand why my Mum makes mostly baby clothes.
I think all knitted commissions from now on are going to have to be for small things, like hats and scarves and maybe socks, if I ever get around to learning how to knit them.
No more jumpers. It takes far too long, and it makes my wrists hurt.
(I’d consider a Point 5 jumper, as they knit up so quickly, but nothing with smaller than 10mm needles.)
