Christmas jumpers

[nimbs]

Having a mooch around town this morning and spotted Primark have got their Christmas jumpers in, for £12 - they sold out way before Christmas last year so grab whilst you can.

What do they look like?

[nimbs]

the ones I saw had big robins/reindeer on more comical than traditional Norwegian ones

SuperDry had lovely Finnish style jumpers last year but they were pricey for limited wear...about £45 ...gorgeous though!

[everydayaschoolday]

thank you for this tip. I looked for these last year, but they were all so expensive.

Fat face has some lovely fairisle jumpers in but again £40 so expensive.

DH refused to wear his fugly jumper purchased for him from Primark last year

I have an urge to get us all a Christmas jumper from primark this year and have a cheesy photo taken for our Christmas cards, like you see in America from 70s/80s!

[Rubybrazilianwax]

Zeeky, I am seriously considering that too lol

[Snoot]

Are the Primark ones some horrid, sweaty, man made material? I'd have to brave the next town along which is, ahem, not entirely fancy, to access a Primani and I'm not going for polyester!

I was in Primark today, they had a load of them (and mens ones too)

I was very taken with a long black jumper that had "Happy Holly Days" because my DD is called Holly. She had a "What about me says I'd wear that jumper. Mother" look on her face

But they had some patterned leggings (that she wants as PJ bottoms with a plain top)

Some nice 'Nordic' looking jumpers
And I got a grey shirt with tiny snowmen for my DS (who'll be 14) He would rather go nekkid than wear a Christmas jumper.

We bought them last year from Primark, might have to go in and try and go there this week and get a 'happy Holly days' one (dd1 is Holly and would find it very funny).

I saw them today, the penguin one is lovely and more wintery than christmas. So I got that one.
The ones they did last year were sooooo much nicer. The happy Holly days is nice but more of a jumper dress (well on me anyway, but I am short) and those leggings are nice.

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

The Happy Holly Days one is quite nice I think.
Black with red and green.
A touch of sequins.
Nice and sift.
And on my DD it would be a dress.
I think I'll buy it for her anyway. I think she was just hiding how much she liked it

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

soft not sift

The ones i saw in Primark yesterday were mens and very suttle, isle fairle (?spelling) type. Navy with reindeer. Very similar to the superdry ones and only £12. Going to try and get a couple on monday for my DH and brother before they go. They were lovely. Not cheesy like the ones I saw last year with massive reindeers or snowmen lol

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I liked the nordic ones- unleash my inner that-dark-haired-woman-from-The-Killing- type-

without having to learn Danish

[cheekycherryza]

My jumpers have all seen better days so I think I might indulge and get myself one come pay day!

Have got to get DD one too - was thinking of asking her nan who's 19 year old cat just died to knit her a couple of jumpers to keep her hands and mind busy. If I can find the patterns online I will ask.
