I'm going to collect my son from school in a little while and when we get home i will give him his very own beautiful hand knitted fair isle tanktop, just like the ones worn on the Evacuee CBBC programme with which he was impressed and obsessed. How did this happen, given that his Mum and Dad and all the usual family suspects are known cack handed non-knitters? It was the hard work and talent and sweetness of Marina, a true goddess of mumsnet. Thank you so much. It is absolutely gorgeous and i know he is going to love it.
