Surprise birthday present for hubby -
21st March 2010
Hubby revealed that he wanted a red and black striped pullover with material similar to the one that his mum knitted for him when he was little.Checked with MIL and found the perfect shiny red he wanted,mohair.

Did the sewing and weaving today,what a relieve and I told myself,no more jumper for hubby if he doesn’t like it.
