Later she did things out of magazines so I had a knock off Lady Di pink Andean jumper complete with lamas, probably from Woman or a similar publication.

MIL knits padded hangers still...tried to give me one but I have no use for them. My stepmother loved hers though and had a few friends who wanted some for themselves!

Velociraptor Jan 2021 7:21pm, 17 Jan 2021 51,119 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor It's fully lined and drapes beautifully. I wore it to the school Christmas party. The boys still didn't want to dance with me but the teachers seemed impressed.

In a blatant attempt to increase my readership, I have shared my latest knit on my blog. fetcheveryone.com/blog/3937/2021/01#415909
