By 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.

January 6, 2022A 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?

January 6, 2022I 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!

January 6, 2022The above comment from Anonymous is from me, SueW. I’m having a few problems commenting on blogs today!
Trev
January 6, 2022Sometimes WordPress does that to me. It can be frustrating. Thank you for the lovely comment though, Sue. ????

January 6, 2022I 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.

January 6, 2022I 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!)
Trev
January 6, 2022Thank you, Peter. It certainly does brighten the day when I put it on. ????

Jim Flanigan
January 6, 2022Love 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.
Trev
January 6, 2022Sounds like I could be a trend setter. ????????????Thank you, Jim.
