Hi all. Just finished another sweater with left over yarn. James C Brett marble chunky. Used an old tried and tested pattern.
Thank you for looking.

Lovely work both! I’ve made a hexi cardi even though I’d only ever done blankets so have a go JenniRen, you can do it!

I might be knitting again as we've been asked to make garments for Knit for Peace.

Beautiful work both.
Purplepixie I would buy that jumper if I saw it in the shops.

Lovely jumper.

Thank you. I haven’t made a hexi cardigan yet. There is time.

That’s lovely, I’m currently knitting a jumper as a Christmas gift for my son in law having just finished a crochet one for my daughter. Can’t wait to make myself something and like you it will be a case of using up some of the stash before buying more yarn.

Lovely crafting and fantastic colours. Someone is going to be very lucky to wear that.

Lovely jumper I like the colours.
Snap I'm crocheting a cardigan using James Brett marble chunky in Lavender Fields.

OOh that's lovely too ! I wish I could do stuff like that.It must be so rewarding wearing something you've made.

Your work is lovely Purplepixie

It is brilliant. The Marble chunky is lovely to work with. Enjoy wearing it.

Another brilliant knit! 👏👏

Lovely work!

I do not have the patience for bigger pieces. My sister made me one with blocks of colour randomly scattered - it is still my favourite after 20 years

How many sweaters do you have Pixie? I am knitting a scarf at the moment and bet it will take longer than your sweaters etc. I only knit watching tv of an evening though.

What a marvellous jumper!

Just finished this for a DD. Not exactly with stash leftovers, but from ripping out something that was almost finished, then abandoned!

Another clever knitter, bet that looks great on.

Lovely. Very innovative Purplepixie . The basket stitch gives it a nice texture.
Like Midgey your thread has prodded me to think I’ve a garment I started about this time last year (with James Brett chunky) and I should get on with it.

Thank you. Hope I’ve inspired a lot of people. Knitting helps with my mental health.
