Lovely colours, will be a joy to wear. I prefer knitting jumpers too for the same reason, to avoid the button-band!!!

Well at least a vertical rainbow will be different! Bet it will be just as lovely as the cardigan too. :D :D

Next time you will have to knot an arched pullover to resemble the real rainbow :lol:

Wendy, that looks stunning! The variegated yarn looks so nice, and "happy"!
We should have a KAL for a jumper or cardigan, and you could do it for us..
anyway, well done on the knitting!

Looks great. I haven't got a clue how to knit. Think I better stick to my cross stitch!

I bought some random dyed pure wool from an ebay seller.

Excellent to knit and I had so much I managed to knit a cardigan and a jumper from 10 100g balls! She delivered very promptly from Lithuania!
I'm about to buy more from her.

I shall post a piccy of the jumper ASAP! :D

That's very impressive! I can knit, but only flat pieces such as scarves and afghans.
