I knitted this sweater in one week.

Purplepixie, I guess you must come top of the class for knitting that beautiful sweater in record time.
It is really lovely, especially the sleeve pattern with the frilled cuffs.
Hope you are feeling better.

Goodness, that was really going at it! Really lovely jumper! 👏👏

It’s lovely. What an achievement , well done !

Impressive! I have trouble casting on…

Aren’t you clever. I think we should call you Nimble Fingers. Well done.

Wow it is amazing. Hats off for knitting it with such gorgeous colours too. I like knitting but the sewing up puts me off as I’m not good at doing that. Husband suggests I keep to knitting scarves - I’ve never knitted a scarf by the way. You should be very proud.

Purplepixie. How very clever and creative of you. 💐

Thank you all so much for the wonderful kind words. Knitting keeps me sane! I do get really bad bouts of terrible depression.

I love it!

I'm so impressed ! I am utterly useless at all things crafty. Here's a pic of the crocheted blanket I started in 2013 on hearing I was to become a Granny - it's still on that very needle but I can't bring myself to throw it out. DGS is eight now !!
Ps. I bought him a beautiful blanket that he still has

That is really lovely, well done!

Well done Purplepixie, for the jumper and the timing-which I’m really impressed by!
Keep going!

Keep going!

Yes, I'm impressed too.
And ashamed.

Watch out for my thread:
"I knitted this sweater in 27 years"

Callistemon21! 🤣🤣🤣

I can beat that, Callistemon! I had one that I didn't knit in 30 odd years - a cardigan started for a dd of then 7 - in about 1988!

Some of the yarn - pastel multicolour - eventually ended up as doll’s clothes and blankets for Gdd1. I still have some of it lurking in my stash!

What a lovely, carefully crafted jumper - particularly impressive as it has been produced in record time! 🧶 🪡 🧶

Gorgeous, well done Purplepixie. Genuinely impressed!

I did the front, the sleeves and nearly up to the neck part of the front.
It probably wouldn't fit me now even if I finished it!

Wow, as others have said - that's a great achievement. It looks beautiful and I hope it is warm and comfortable too. Wear with great pride!

I think to knit that in a week was amazing……but what really astounds me is that you have sewn it up and finished entirely! Well done you. 👏👏👏👏👏

Well done purplepixie. Craft is good for making us feel better about ourselves.

Brilliant.Well done you.xx

I don't mind sewing up at all. It's a fairly quick job and I'm quite a neat sewer.

So if some of you clever knitters and crocheters would like to make me a jumper I will happily sew your projects up for you 😁😉

AreWeThereYet how’s it looking for a glove, Mary, Joseph and a Father Christmas🙂?

I love the colours purplepixie looks so cosy and a lovely pattern.
I hope you soon feel better from the dreaded black dog
