Multi Coloured cardigans

[GeoffS]

This might be in the wrong section so if so I apologise.

 

I have seen several people wearing multi coloured thick cardigans/jackets and I want to buy one as a present.

 

Anyone know where is the best place to look or any advice?

 

Cheers

Was it Jasper Carrot who defined old age as the time when.. You walk down a high street, look into a shop window and exclaim "Nice Cardigan !"

I thought so too, but my stepson (age 19) informs me that they're back "in".

'Perfect Presents' at Cropredy, by the canal bridge, is a good source.

Hugh Dennis I think - at least that is who I heard saying it; he may have got it from JC first.

Could have been Carrot that said it, but probably Dennis that wrote it. (Or Punt)

I'd suggest looking at your local market. There's some great ones at ours, which is every Thursday. However, its a bit posh round here (we've definitely brought down the tone) so they're still going for £25 plus.

My wife has bought from these people twice

The first one is about five years old and still going strong.

 

She bought a second one because she wears the first all the time and didn't want people to think she's only got one jumper!

looks like the madcat is going to be knitting this winter as I like the look of these rainbow stripes.People who dont knit would probably find an interesting shop in most largish towns and could stock up on incense at the same time maybe. Worcester has at least 2 shops that sell unusual clothes, one in the tything and one in town in the cornmarket.

Don't do that or they'll look like a children's TV presenter (we know a song about that don't we children).

Get down to Tesco and buy a fleece for £4 like a proper boater.

 

 

PS Spend the balance on beer or diesel.

Knit one. My partner's website has everything you need - wonderwool.co.uk

A bit of creativity never hurts if you can knit one but dont be put off buying if you dont knit. Andy not everybody likes fleeces I really hate the feel of a lot of that sort of stuff and keep warm the old fashioned way in wooly jumper and donkey jacket complete with wooly hat if its really cold.I dont look like a childrens tv presenter though . One modern innovation I have signed up for is thermals to keep the winter cold at bay.

[GeoffS]

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have ordered one from Black Yak. Hopefully it will be good. Thanks again

I remember when it was cheap, to be crusty!

I had my tongue in my cheek when I wrote that.

As I speak my other half is knitting herself a very nice chunky fashionable jumper from the Rowan-purelife british sheep breeds collection.

(Have a look at knitrowan.com it looks a nice site.)

 

With a bit of luck she'll do me one next but I'll have a plain grey one as I'm over 50.
