´óÏó´«Ã½

My mother used to … sit in the bedroom window knitting, she always seemed to be knitting or unravelling old jumpers to make new ones, even to the extent, if the old jumper wasn’t big enough, she’d make a false fronted jumper which had a collar, no sleeves, just a front and a couple of apron strings so that when you put your jacket on it looked as if you had a nice jumper, till you took your coat off.
