These little boat-necked sweaters have been knitted by two ladies in their 90s who live in Weston-super-mare. One of them is the mother of Jackie with whom I used to work, and the other lady is nearly blind but a wonderful knitter. The sweaters are made up of squares and rectangles which Jackie has sewn together for them.
Jackie knows that I give away ‘pre-loved’ clothes (as my Australian cousin calls them) to charity or refugees. So when another friend was going to Uganda earlier this month, she took about 15 with her to give away. Here is a picture of a very happy little girl in her new sweater.
The wool comes from charity shops. I think the ladies want to knit something different now. Does anyone have any other good ideas or simple patterns to knit?
