That's gorgeous.

Lovely jumper with raglan sleeves. I really dislike the dropped shoulder patterns that are so popular these days.

Beautifully made. It looks really expensive. The colours work well together.

That looks so warm and snuggly; it's lovely. Great colour combination, too.

I'd buy it if I could. It would go with all my jeans/cords. Lovely colours. ☺️

I don’t know why I look, it makes me feel so inadequate 😁

Lovely knitting Purplepixie.

That will keep you warm this winter.
Have you used up your stash now?

rafichagran Sun 04-Oct-26 21:09:36

I think it is lovely.

Wow! You are very talented! ♥️

A lovely jumper. Bright and cheerful. Warm and cosy. smile

You have such a good eye for colour co-ordination as well as your perfectly even tension. It looks so intentional (which I'm sure it is) but by which I mean nobody would guess it was using up left over yarn rather than a specially purchased combination. You are so talented!

Thank you all so much. I haven’t even scratched the surface of my stash. I’m determined not to buy anymore yarn until next year. I know I’ll break that once I go by a yarn shop!!!
I’ve just started another jumper using mainly red and purple. I’ll post once it’s finished.

Clever you !!
I wish GN had a ‘For Sale’ section. I would buy your sweaters as I’m sure other GN members will too.

That’s fabulous. The wool balls I have over don’t really match each other,too pale but yours are really lovely.

Brilliant, Purplepixie, and what a great use of your stash.
I'm impressed by your plan to buy no more yarn. You'll let us know how that goes, I hope....

Wow lovely jumper using your stash. I'm the same lots of balls of wool I've collected but not enough for a complete garment. I've started crocheting again instead of knitting and have made a cardigan using granny squares a good way to use up your stash and also hexi cardigan.

It’s beautiful. Love it.
