Modeled by me: great for this cold weather!
An Arran cardi hand-knitted by my mum 30 years ago.
And my wonderful hand-knitted coat, made in the 80s and worn regularly since (florist John approves!).Hat, a Fred Bare find from their Columbia Road shop four or five years ago.
So I’m off my knitting group this evening. We were originally a reading group, then became film-goers but now knitting is our thing for these cold, dark, dreary winter days.
Cards for knitters? We have them too!

Oh I do love that aran cardigan. My last was a round-neck but I can se me wearing one just like this.
I’m off to ebay to find an aran v neck cardigan pattern!
From the smile on your face you seem to love it, I hope it brings you many more years of pleasure in the wearing - gorgeous!

Thanks for reminding me. I found a wonderful old fashioned Sunbeam pattern for his & hers v neck aran cardies and I’ve finallly done it!
I’ve just put my recently completed cardigan on to go out this afternoon, and it feels *wonderful* to wear. I’m liking the v neck shape better than my previous attempts at these cardigans too, I’ve only been out in it twice and both times got compliments!
Next thing is, can I persuade hubby into a cardigan for a change? I think he’d look very smart but I balk at the thought of us wearing them together!
I have you to thank for the inspiration, I can see I’m going to be an aran knitting fool from now on!
