MY FIRST UFO.



I started this jumper for my Dad when I was a teenager, mis-judged the tension and ran out of wool. My dad is an architect, so I turned it into a building. I asked my Dad about his favourite brick work and then made English brickwork on the right sleeve, Flemish on the left and an Anglo Saxon arch for the neck with Dog roses growing up and over. It means the original blue bits become some sort of tiling or something. I made the arms long because Dads should always have long arms.  I don't think my Dad will wear it, but it does kind of look like his studio/shed.
