Beautiful! Did you make it from a pattern?
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Thanks all,yes I knitted it from a pattern with chunky wool and big needles so it wouldn't take a year to knit!!As I sew I have a patience problem with knitting, I did small projects first,kids scarves,dishcloths,dolly blankets but thought I should do something for me and yes it is very warm.I am learning to crochet at the moment so watch this space......in about 6 months!

Well Done! I haven't finished my cardi yet and I've been knitting it since 2006 :shock: I'm promising I'll finish it soon because I've spotted another pattern I want to start. :iconbiggrin:
