The fabric below is a combo of Wensleydale Longwool and Lion Homespun.
It is my new winter cardigan. I got some lovely vintage brass buttons on ebay and the heavy knitting has good drape and so the collar fell into place well.
Then... I put it on. It's so very big but warm and comfy. I could pretend to be a sylph like figure below all the miles of knitted yarn but I'm not. It is soft and snuggly and will be well used if the weather turns into the winter they have forecast.It is mild today and I have trouble believing that it will soon be cold enough to need it. We walked to the farm shop and it felt like early summer instead of early winter.
Cheers Gillian

I think that cardigan really suits you Gillian. Yes I am sure you will have a freezing cold winter as we have had a very cold one here. We even had a hailstorm here last weekend and it looked as though it had snowed as you couldnt see the bark!
Hey Gillian! It's so good to read your blog again! As usual with winter fashion knitwear is making a huge comeback, but you have sorted out your fashion worries with your cardigan! Hope you are well x
Gillian, your new cardigan looks so nice and cuddly.
Looks good. Nice wools. I got the knitting bug as I usually do about this time each year, so I started a little waistcoat for g'son. [the bug isn't very virulent and soon goes away].
However I can't decide what size he is as haven't seen him since summer, so when daughter sends measurements I may have to frog it and start again...............
