    About

    After making so many things for other people I decided to make myself something I've always wanted, a fair isle jumper. I came across this pattern while browsing and fell in love with it. I used cotton yarn as a cheap option but I love the light spring/autumn weight garment I've ended up with. I made the XL size as I like a loose fit and added at least 2 inches to the body and sleeves. I'm 6'2" so everything is always too short! I have broad shoulders so the armpits are a bit on the tight side but totally wearable, I need to figure out how to adjust that in future.
