David is a great friend of mine. He’s one of a few who have a hand-knitted jumper from me. I made him a sleeveless jumper, knitted in the round until the split for the armholes. I spent a long time working out the pattern and had lots of help from Mam (my grandma). There were beautiful swathes of colour sweeping across the jumper like lightening bolts.

Then David met a style guru and together they decided that the ‘stripes’ across his middle didn’t do him any favours… would I please knit the bottom half again so the colours weren’t in stripes?

I said yes! (Like I said, David is a great friend!) So I snipped a stitch under the armhole, unravelled downwards and have re-knitted a significant part of it. It seems shorter than before, but there may be more wool in the wardrobe!  I’m still pleased with how it looks:
