Lovely BdF cabled jumper pattern in WWeeklyIt's this one which is knit in Jaspee an acrylic wool blend - very cheap (about £1.80 a ball) or it knits at 19st so any of the usual arans will be ok. |

I just saw this one today. It's lovely isn't it? | ||||

Oh that is a lovely jumper.
But as Im not a "jumper" knitter I wouldnt be able to do it

It is gorgeous isn't it!! I have seen it a few times and almost bought the pattern but not for some reason.
Ali you definitely could I'm sure - cabling isn't hard and look how well franney did with her first garment which was very cabley  You don't have to pick up for the neck edging it's done as you go.

I keep looking at it, it really is lovely and it goes big enough 
It's probably too much though, especially with a missing mojo

I think it's very pretty - but it woudn't keep your  very warm  
|

| pictish |
Probably not - though the one on Rav has a higher neckline which is strange
No I wouldn't think of doing it without your mojo

My mum has read Womans Weekly since the 1950s and I have been inheriting my mum's copy the whole of my married life. If I stopped getting it now I'd miss it dreadfully! How sad is that 
What is probably sadder is that I buy Peoples Friend from time to time - if I like the look of the knitting pattern- and then read those awful naff stories. I think it's official, I'm over the hill! |

Don't worry Glynis, you're not alone, I'm over there with you. WW does tend to become a habit - I sadly acquired it in my 30's 
This neckline's just too low for my jubblies as they are over the hill with Glynis! |

Glynis I look in People's Friend too for patterns but I have been known to buy it for one of the other articles They do nice articles about places in Scotland - cos it is a Scottish magazine after all  And the recipes are lovely as are the ones in WW. But oh dear .........
However other than a knitting magazine or one of the upmarket monthlies, there is very little on the magazine shelf I would consider buying these days - I find the covers of the majority of the others distressing to just look at

I bought a copy today, I do like the sweater. The neck is very low but I would wear a tshirt or cami with it. I will have to watch out for more patterns it is good value | ||||
| Binty |
I bought a copy too
I really like the look of this but without mojo there is no way I could try it but I have got a copy to put in the stash cupboard

That's progress at least Ali. You could easy follow the pattern if you can make all those wonderful toys. I thought the article on being a good granny by Jane Fearnly-Whittingstall (Hugh's mum) was good too. I'm not a granny yet but would be handy - for future reference you understand.

My jubblies are not only over the hill but going back up the other side but I like deep "Vs" on tops and wear a cami under them.... Do like the look of the jumper will have to go and see if I've left it to late to get a copy... I remember reading WW at my Granny's (my mum never bought magazines)..
Can I just say she has a book on a similar subject which is a very good read! |
