My Very Own Smedley
melanie lang on 31 July 2009
I was studying knitwear at Nottingham Trent University about 10 years ago now and one of our projects was to make a fully fashioned garment using John Smedley yarn. I chose a red colour and started knitting swatches, it was there on the knitting machine I learned an appreciation for fully fashioned knitwear. For that project I got a 1st I think, this was my very own Smedley.
Ever since university I have wanted to buy an actual John Smedley jumper and a couple of Christmases ago I bought one, which was to be my present from my husband. I have loved it ever since and it is still special cardigan which I treat with care and every time i go to wear it, it makes me think of this story.
