Hi there,

My Mum (80!!) is a demon knitter - I've sold her stuff via the forum before, and can email you some photos of jumpers and cardigans she's done if you like.

She is with me now, but lives up in Matlock. Not a problem for her to knit and post to you though if that helps, it would take her a couple of weeks to produce several for you......if you provide patterns and wool the cost would be ?5 per cardigan, or if you want her to provide the wool she can do it that way and estimates about ?8 per cardigan including the price of the wool. She does have patterns too if needed!

Hope this helps, but of course if you can get someone more local totally understand (I used to knit before children hijacked my life, will get back to it one day!!!).

Best wishes, Molly

Hello Molly.

Hope you and the girls are well. I would love to use your mum to knit some little things for Felix and Max. In the past their great grandmother has knit stuff for us but she is getting a bit too old now. Very exciting so will take a look for some yarn and patterns. Is she able to adapt patterns? I hear Lewisham library has a large pattern stock so will check it out when I have a moment.

Hi there,

Yes, she can adapt patterns, and often makes her own patterns up as she goes, to fit with the odds and ends of wool she has - she's amazing!

Just PM me when you are sorted and I can pass on her address etc.

Best wishes, Molly
