Finally finished this short sleeved jumper.
I originally planned to do a sleeveless pullover then realised it's the top of my arms that get cold. But as I almost always push my sleeves up short sleeved seemed the way to go.  I thought solid royal blue would be a bit sombre so decided to liven up the front with some fair-isle style flowers and butterflies, which took ages.
Supercosmic  Wow, love the colours
Squireen  Very smart
Ms Exlibris  Lovely
Miss Drew  Well impressed Ben
Bentonbag   Fanny Och gave me the impression I was useless at needlework!
Bess Cavalier  Love the flower banding. I’m a sleeve pusher-upper as well.  Full length sleeves just get in the way.
Bentonbag   If I ever finish dressing all the dementia dollies I'll do myself another - sans fair-isle but I have a 70s lacy pattern I fancy trying.
Ms Elplates  Very impressed.
Dr E  If I were to knit that it would be ready in 10 years!!
Mrs Quilt  You've found your graph paper exercise book then!  Looks really cheerful.   
A very successful project.
Bentonbag  Actually all the motifs came out of "Kids Knits" but the scanner/printer proved invaluable in copying out and expanding the right bits of the page.
Wonderwoman  I'd never have thought of that!
Miss GH  Lovely the blue suits you x
Mrs ER  O gosh you,re exactly like your Mum.  Jumper looks lovely.xx

Bentonbag  I can't ride a bike or grow begonias ...
