Fishermen’s Sweaters

My copy of Alice Starmore’s “Fishermen’s Sweaters” has arrived. Plenty of things in it that I would like to have a go at -  though some are rather skimpy for us fuller figured girls, and will need a bit of modification. Quite scary.

Anyway - I am thrilled with it, and I think a number of patterns look suitable for knitting up in the Hipknits aran silk, but there’s a couple of 4-ply patterns that I like as well - and I do love knitting an intricate 4ply pattern. Perhaps I can find a nice 4ply wool/silk mixture somewhere…
