Isn't it a shame that knitting hurts! Short bursts of knitting Esta and before you know it your jumper will be finished. A lot of years ago (like 40 odd!) I used to source good quality jumpers from op shops and reknit them but now that is harder to do with the amount of synthetic garments available so I love the idea that Allie Buckley is producing beautiful sustainable knitwear.

I'm definitely able to knit for slightly longer than when I first started this jumper, but it's still very slow going. Next time I should use big needles and chunky wool and I might be finished before I'm 50! 🤣 I love that you used to hunt down proper wool jumpers and make them into something new! It's such a shame there's so little good quality clothing around these days 😕
