As it's nearly winter here in Australia, I wanted to share this site with the Aussies.

I bought my cardigan about 5 years ago from Canberra at The Bus Depot Markets. Back then they were about one hundred dollars cheaper! I had mine made in blacks, greys and silvers. It's so warm and yet lightweight. Have a look around the site they have some amazing knitwear!

They are expensive but well worth it as they last for years, so I've had my money's worth already.

Love and blessings Chris

P.S. For those interested the picture on my sewing wall is of me at about 33 with my naturally dark hair. The grandchildren are amazing they still see it as me! Amy is in pink aged 2, Ben in middle aged 6 and Dana in blue aged 4. Ben now 34, Dana 32 in July and Amy 30!

Will you be done with the cardi soon Chris, only it's very cold up here and doesn't show any signs of improvement! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! I can't afford to put the heating on any more because the gas prices are sky high and about to go up again. Also, I can't drive somewhere warmer because of the inordinate cost of fuel over here in Blighty. So, any time soon with the cardi would be good!

Sorry, Dennis, it's just the beginning of winter here in Oz. I feel for you Pommies with all the cuts to your natural resources. It's hard enough to survive a winter in "Blighty" even with heating!!!! I don't know how you do it. The coldest it gets here is about 12C - that's of course on the East Coast of Australia. Inland, our towns get below freezing and of course the snow fields too down in the Snowy Mountains and all of the well known ski resorts.

Love Chris - sorry you won't be getting this cardi!

12C........the way things are going here, we'll be lucky to get that at the hight of summer!! Well, if I can't have the cardi, I guess it's back to the tried and tested method of stuffing old newspapers inside my clothes for insulation...lol

Thanks Edith, yes I do love wearing it and I get compliments every time. As I said it is very expensive, but doesn't look any different than when I first bought it. Love Chris

Hi Chris, I've been studying the detail in your picture (as you do.....) and just wanted to say (no, I'm not going to mention anything about ironing boards......ooooops), what a lovely smile you always have. And the cardi's very nice too.

He, he he, I was standing in front of the ironing board. At the moment there are 2 shirts on there, a pencil box, 2 pairs of scissors, one of them pinking shears, a Rooibos Tea Bag, a Singaporean shirt that Trev had given to Ben and he's returned it! Not to my liking personally either!!!!! One of my blouses and Ophelie's frilly tutu dress which I have to extend the elastic in the waist, as it's too tight!

Thanks for the compliment about my smile! I try to keep my teeth in good condition and having been a Dental Receptionist for over 10 years helped me to maintain my teeth! Love Chris

Hi Caroline, you, I am sure have some gorgeous cardigans in England. I love all the Isle of Wight designs and nowadays there are so many intricate designs to choose from. Love Chris
