My Multi Coloured Cardigan
For one reason or another, I woke up Christmas morning feeling a little jaded, to say the least.
Poorly
We had the eldest daughter and her family staying with us and you can imagine how excited the Grandchildren are on Christmas morning. I couldn’t make it out of bed, not at silly o’clock in the morning to join in with the screams of ‘he’s been!!!!’ No, for me it was a late start, a very late start, arising about lunchtime.
I Missed The Car Race
Ooh, I did feel poorly, but I am pleased to say, as the day wore on, I slowly started to feel better. I was sad to have missed the ‘Scalextricx’ demonstration that the Grandson had received from Father Christmas and the fashion show the Granddaughter had put together to show off her new top and shoes and all the other things that girls of her age love.
Open First
Everyone was itching to see me open my presents, especially the one package that felt like it could be a blanket or perhaps a large jumper? ‘Open this one first, Grandad’ said the two young voices that were full of excitement. So I did and there before my very eyes was this beautiful, multi-coloured cardigan complete with rainbow buttons.
Colourful Cardigan
I had seen a similar cardigan for sale at an extortionate price back in the summer. That’s when I asked my daughter if she could knit me one for Christmas. That’s her hobby and she’s very good at it. I never expected this though. It’s fabulous and ideal for this cold weather that’s just arrived. People keep asking me to see my multi-coloured cardigan and when am I going to wear it out? I think it’s a bit too good to go to the local pub in, everyone will need to wear sunglasses it’s that bright.
Happy New Year
It’s been a great Christmas for me apart from the blip on Christmas morning and it just leaves me to wish everyone a fantastic 2022.

What an awesome sweater. Wear it in good health.
Thank you very much and I will. ????
A wonderful present; I’m pleased you recovered to receive it – or did you just need a reason for staying in bed until a sensible time?
I absolutely love your cardigan.
My dad once asked me to knit a red one for him. My mum objected to the colour red and insisted that grey or brown would be more appropriate for a man of his age! I made him one anyway, but I only ever saw him wearing it once. Mum said the sleeves were too long!
The above comment from Anonymous is from me, SueW. I’m having a few problems commenting on blogs today!
Sometimes WordPress does that to me. It can be frustrating. Thank you for the lovely comment though, Sue. ????
WP is misbehaving for me as well. Seems to happen lots recently.
I am sure he would have been very proud of it whatever the colour, Sue. Thank you. ????
I love it! I crochet so I can just imagine the time and love that was put into making it. I haven’t tried to crochet clothing yet but can imagine how much time it takes.
Thank you. It did take a few months to complete. ????
Looks cracking, Trev! Happy new year ????
Thank you, Lorna. Happy new year to you too. ????
I love it Trev. Much better than a boring single colour. Glad the poorly time was only brief and that you are in the pink again (and the red, and blue, and yellow!)
Thank you, Peter. It certainly does brighten the day when I put it on. ????
A colorful cardigan knitted by your daughter! It is a wonderful gift and you look gorgeous in it
May this year bring joy and happiness in your life! ????.Stay healthy, stay strong!
Thank you, Luisa, you are very kind. A happy and prosperous 2022 to you. ????
It’s a lovely ray of sunshine in the cold and dark of winter. Your daughter is a talented woman!
Thank you, Connie, it is indeed a ray of sunshine. ????
Oh my Trevor that is the best gift ever. The work and love are amazing. I would love to own a garment just the same. But I live in a jungle. Wear it ever day of your life. ♥♥ Merry Christmas ????
That’s very kind of you, thank you and a happy new year ????
I’m happy Christmas turned out well. Beautiful sweater. I would wear it out.
Thank you, Herb. I shall probably wear it to the local pub soon. ????
I love the cardigan. Great Choice.
Thank you very much. ????
It looks great on you, Trev! Happy new year! ????????
Thank you, John. Happy new year to you too ????
It’s a work of art and so special to know that love went into every stitch.
Thank you, Yeti. ????
I think you should wear it everywhere you go!
Thank you and I will be trying my best to wear it out and about. ????
Love the sweater. It’s wonderful. My compliments to your daughter on her handiwork. Just had dinner with some friends, one of whom was wearing a cardigan. He mentioned that cardigans are the new sport coats, so you are dressing up when you wear a cardigan, looking mighty spiffy.
Sounds like I could be a trend setter. ????????????Thank you, Jim.
Color blocks! So stylish. Love the different colored buttons. I envy those who have knitters in the family. Laughed at “silly o’clock.” Hope you are feeling spiffy again.
Thank you, I am lucky to have talented daughters. I am feeling well again, thank you ????
I love your multi-coloured cardigan! What a pity it won’t shine its light just yet.
Thank you, Rosaliene. It will shine soon enough. 🙂
Beautiful sweater, and just right for the pub. Everyone there will be envious.
Thank you, Kathy. I think you’re right, they will all be jealous. 🙂
Great cardigan! I’m jealous.
Aw, don’t be jealous. But thank you for the kind words. ????
It’s cute!
Thank you ????
I am 72 and LOVE bright colors. Not fond of brown! Enjoy your colorful sweater made with love, a very special gift! <3
Thank you, Cheryl. Happy new year. ????
Looks fab! Might have a go at one like it for my old man. 🙂
Thank you, Libby. Don’t forget to blog it when you’ve finished it ????
