Well eighteen months ago I made yet another version of my hubby's favourite cable jacket. Since we have been married he has got through 3 of these and tends to live in it during winter.
So we chose the yarn together and during the summer of 2017 I set to making another version for a Christmas present. Hubby is a large man with very long arms so this sort of a knit is no lightweight project.
However it was ready in time and as I had a little yarn left over I made a matching one for his mini me - my grandson.
Just about a year ago hubby had a major heart attack and as a consequence has taken up exercise and a healthy lifestyle so has lost a huge amount of weight and the favourite jacket drowns him. Watching him trying to wear it - and it constantly falling off his shoulders I offered to unpick, frog and remake it. The joy on his face proved that although this will be a long job it will be worth it.
Then my grandson sadly told me that his jacket is too small but he loves it and wants to wear it so I intend to use some of the leftover yarn from hubby's jacket and unpick , frog and remake the little one in two sizes larger.
All the yarn is still in great condition so it should work well.
I may be some time!!!
Here are some images of both jackets originally
