AT THE CROSSROADS

I recently finished the Crossroads jumper from issue 210. It was a lovely jumper to knit, although I accidentally started making a second right front and had to undo 80 rows! I made it for my lovely mother-in-law who helps look after my son while I’m at work. I’d be lost without her and I like to show my appreciation by knitting for her – as there’s no gift nicer than something handmade. She’s very pleased with it. Thanks for another great pattern. I’m always excited to receive Simply Knitting each month.

80 rows? You have our admiration for all that unpicking! Well done for persevering as it looks gorgeous on your mother-inlaw – the colour really suits her.
