Book Description:
“Of all the fun jumpers I’ve worn on television it is the pattern for this one that has been most sought-after by viewers. It’s a personal favourite that I sometimes wear back to front - so that I can say I’ve got a bear behind! It looks good on me, but it looks even better on John Inman.”
