Great to know that you are still wearing it - and drinking cherry brandy at the same time too, I hope. Do you have a photo of your grandma wearing it, by any chance? I'd love to see it, if so.

After she knitted it she sent a photo to De Kuyper and they sent her a bottle of cherry brandy! She also changed the neck so it wasn’t a roll neck as she thought that would be too warm. I’m actually wearing it today, so it’s lasted 40 years, I wear it every Christmas as the colours are very festive 😊Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
