The first two sweaters my friend Cindy knitted me were Irish fishermen sweaters. The first one was solid white and the second one was powder blue. Due to my upper body bulking up from walking with crutches, I outgrew them. She altered the white one to fit my sister and she will do the same to the blue one.
Below is a picture of the third sweater that she knitted me. This is the one that is, alas, beyond repair. I loved this sweater which was why I wore it for this picture. Some day I will reveal my head. And, yes, I flew the plane behind me in the picture.
