Ah thank you so much, that's truly kind and I really appreciate it!! I don't knit all that many garments, so was pleased to find this one... ✨💛🌼

I reckon clothing takes a lot of man hours. How long does it take to make a piece like this?

This took a 1.5 months to knit, the yarn was quite thick so it went quicker 🙂 A summer tee usually takes a month, sweaters on average 2 if I'm working on other projects.

Ah thank you so much, it's from a local knitting book of my Mom's, it has some stunning patterns in!

Would I find it on Ravelry?

I'm really not sure, but the book is called You, Best Knits by Marie Hardy and the Pattern is Winter Woollies

Sadly I haven’t found it online. ( U.K. )

So sorry to hear that, I know the book is quite old and likely a South African publication. Really sorry you weren't able to find it though!
