I lost my perfect jumper on vinted. Anyone up for a search party?

I didn't even know she was the one, and when I clicked, it was too late, already sold. Pic attached - grey, purple and yellow. Gorgeous colours in the right ratios, wool, just the right shape. I can't find another anywhere else (well, some Chinese knock off sites that I can't imagine deliver on their promise) and haven't found an alternative. The second pic could have been another vinted contender but angora in the mix nixed it for me. I saw these https://www.wolfandbadger.com/eu/lola-sweater-in-multicolor-multicolour/ & https://www.wolfandbadger.com/eu/striped-stitch-maya-crew-multicolour-stripe/ but they are too expensive not to be right.

I'm looking for boxy, wide stripes and jewel tones, in merino, wool or cashmere (or mix). No angora, mohair or acrylic. I have considered knitting one myself but I'm painfully slow at the best of times, currently exacerbated by actual shoulder pain. I'd pay £200-300 because I'll wear it forever. Very grateful for any suggestions

Nice jumper. I lost my perfect cashmere cardigan on vinted too. Boxing Day at 7am! Who buys something on Boxing Day at 7am? I was sure I had time for a coffee before I clicked buy now. 😥

Pop down to Pennys @HollywentLightly you'll get a copy of the jumper and a night in a hotel with dinner and breakfast for that price even in Dublin ☘️☘️🍻🍻

It's alright to say things can only get better
You haven't lost your brand new sweater
Pure new wool, and perfect stitches
Not the type of jumper that makes you itches, oh no

Edited

Haven't heard that in ages! Sultans of Ping FC rock 😀

What’s the point of this comment? The OP wasn’t asking for opinions on the jumper. Why did you say it? I would really love to get an insight into the mind of people who write stuff like this online.

You’re only the second person I’ve ever come across who knows this song - and the first is my DB! You’ve given me joy.

Third! Huge fan.

Excellent thread - a quest, the fellowship assemble to solve it, a happy ending plus the Sultans of Ping FC do the soundtrack.

If you’re the type of fish who likes to do your own thing.
You like to rock and roll to the Sultans of Ping.
If all the other fish don’t understand;
The Sultans of Ping are your favourite band.

That’s okay.

Everytime dh is looking in his wardrobe and I ask him whst hes looking for and he say his jumper I always say 'wheres me jumper where's me jumper'
Its probably a bit wearing after 34 years but I've no reason to stop!

Postage, plus customs plus exchange rate is a massive kick in the arse when trying to buy from the UK these days

Vinted pays the customs, but postage is more than it is for UK etc

I love it when a thread is resolved so efficiently. Great work SneakyArcher that was probably the fastest resolution to a thread I've ever seen. 🥰

Yep, the 'I can't find it' threads are always sorted by the first poster.

So many people are not great at searching.

With that kind of budget I'd be inclined to commission a knitter to make it to your exact specifications.

Came here to say this

Just to check, is this a joke? That thing’s minging.

I like the jumper, @HollywentLightly, hope it arrives safely and fits you too!!!

I love the song - once accosted a young shop assistant with the question "where's me jumper?" when I went back to buy one and they had moved everything to different areas in the shop. He was bemused. My teenage daughter, who was with me and who knew the song, was mortified!!! But the opportunity was just too good not to say it!!
