I’m making this for Giles, mainly because he asked for a plain, manly jumper in blue, but also because using larger needles will give my hands a break from knitting lots of vintage things on 2-3mm needles which is causing RSI to flare up.

After seeing alabamawhirly’s cobblestone with stripy arms, Giles has decided that he would like to have grey stripes on his blue jumper.

Body is done, so let the stripy arms commence!

29 October - I’m well into the second stripy sleeve now and as I don’t have any other WIPs it should be finished soon.

Just needs blocking and the ends weaving in, then off to do a nice catalogue pose picture.

Well, as you can see, instead of a catalogue pose, we have a very manly picture from Christmas day with his new drill :)

Colours are correct on the second picture.
