The Knitting years .... number 4 getting personal

The new series on the history of what we wore, Knitting Patterns.



Now if this isn't the pattern our Jillian used to knit that jumper for me in 1970 with reindeer's it is as close as you can get.

The original was in brown with with red and yellow and proved such a success that she made a second in blue.

I showed it to our sons who were very envious ........... not bad for a distance of 4 decades
