Sentimental and Tatty


This is a sweater I knit when I was 13-ish.. What confidence to take on this task! but, it was a special gift for a special uncle.. As I was starting the second sleeve, he passed away.. Very sad time for me, but I was so very determined to make it anyway. When I completed it, it was so large, too large for anyone that I knew.. What did I do? I unravelled every last bit and started again! So, this is my over 30 year old sweater.. it looks rough in spots, but it's been there for me..And everytime I look at it now I can smile and think of the great person who inspired me to make this :)
