1000 Sweaters-a-longDo you have the 1000 Sweaters book? Would you like to join a knit-a-long where we knit a garment of our own 'design' from the book?
Pictish is already knitting a hoodie from the book, and Melody is knitting a 2x2 ribbed summer cardigan.
Join in here if you'd like to have a go at designing your own garment

I have got the book and have always like the green lace cardigan - I've got a bit much on at the moment, but might join you later

Oooh what a good idea!!! The green lacy one is on my list too 
I'm obviously in  Will put a piccy up maybe tomorrow. I'm almost up to the armholes on the back of my hoodie in green Rowan Felted Tweed.

Up to the armholes??  Yikes!! I'm still doing the body bit of my turquoise ribby
But Vanessa is moving along nicely....
Jo, it doesn't matter when you join in - it could be an open thing and we could see what we produce from the book couldn't we?

Ah well Vanessa is languishing a bit 
Yes we could have it as a longstanding KAL cos I have lots of plans for things from it now

This was the first knitting book I ever bought! I haven't really looked at it since, but I may have to when it resurfaces (my books are all over the place, thanks to having new wardrobes and a carpet fitted).
I'm like Jobo, I have a lot on at the moment, but when things have calmed down and I've more knitting time........
P.S. I haven't done ANY knitting for at least a week-and-a-half, if not a fortnight

I don't have the book, but I'm sure I have the wool to make at least 1000 sweaters

Haven't got this, but I do have Anne Budd's Knitters Handy Book of Sweater Patterns, which sounds similar.
You know what I'm going to say, don't you....
.... After Woolfest.

I used to have this book but I swapped it because I never got round to making anything from it. Kinda wish I'd kept it now!
It will be very interesting to see what you all make!
