My mum, an expert knitter, passed away recently. As part of my grieving process, I decided to take up knitting - after a 30 year hiatus - and joined the Laughing Hens. Once I found the jumper I liked, it was very straight forward. I ordered King Cole pattern 5799 with the corresponding yarns (King Cole Homespun DK), and the required needles (added circular needles as I remember my mum used to prefer knitting with them) as suggested under the pattern. I received everything quickly and started immediately. This was 3 weeks ago and my husband is delighted with his jumper. Thank you Laughing Hens!
