Well i dont seem to have knitted much this year apart from socks Sad

but i still LOVE this cardy i did for me




Its not a good photo & the poor thing is looking worse for wear now as i wear it almost every day  Laughing  BUT it was a ZIP one & i am still proud of it Smile

My fave socks this year has to be my jaywalkers knitted for a great friend who LOVES them - as she knits she knows the work gone into them for her !!



Next year i vow to make some cardys for me - i have yarn for at least 3 if not more  Shocked

Oh they are both great choices! I can see why the cardi has become such a favourite, it fits beautifully and its a very understated, easy-to-wear colour. I'm in awe of anyone who can put full length zippers in their knitwear!

The Jaywalkers are glorious aren't they? What a beautiful colour!
I made a couple of pairs in a very similar pattern to the Jaywalker and I love the way the fabric is really firm and warm to wear, so no wonder your friend loves hers too.
