Finished the jumper from an old pattern , possibly a 1940's have altered the back as I didn't want to do just loops for the buttonholes.  Pleased with it but have put on a little weight since I started it, so it is a slightly tighter fit!






This is the pattern for the above jumper, I bought it from ebay because I liked the rib pattern on it, I knew I didn't like the loops on the button band and knew if I want to knit the cardigan I can knit the buttonholes in the border.  Ebay are being rather mean (despite my feedback being 100% favourable most of the time, and many lovely comments from customers), to me at the moment so don't know why I am advertising them!  





Have also finished the above jumper, which I am pleased with, it's easy to sit and knit this while watching television, films and documentaries being favourites.  Would knit again but in one colour as sewing up the stripes is time consuming, have shown in the second picture, hopefully have not made to bad a job of it.  I am no expert but would guess this is a seventies pattern?
