Someone just made an inquiry about a project I worked on a few years ago. While we’re on the subject, I thought I would dig it up for those of you who haven’t seen it before. Okay, follow this: my cousin’s fiancee’s brother…are you with me? He contacted me with a dream. He had always wanted to have a particular sweater worn by the boy in the movie About a Boy. If you have seen the movie, you probably know which sweater I am talking about. When he asked, it so happened I had very recently seen the movie and thought it sounded like good fun to try and duplicate it. And so I did, and it was good fun. It will be forever referred to as the About a Boy sweater.
I’ve had a few requests for a pattern, but I have decided it shall remain a one of a kind piece. It’s funny to look at this now, it makes me realize how much I have learned in just the past few years, when I just look at the shape of the sweater itself. What’s up with those sleeves, Hannah?
Oh my goodness, that is an amazing sweater. Truly one-of-a-kind. It looks like he really likes it too!
Yay! Awesome!! Steven really does love it~! Thanks again for that! He wears it all the time… I did send you pictures of him wearing it, right??? I thought I did… but if not, do let me know! :) Miss you guys! Looks like you’re keeping busy!
Hey there! First thing I’ve got to say is that the About a Boy sweater you knitted is fantastic!! Me and my friend watched the film years ago, and ever since I’ve been looking for one on ebay or similar but couldn’t find one anywhere, then I tried looking for patterns and had no luck either. That’s actually how I found your site – I googled About a Boy cardigans and found this site. I wanted to make a plea for you to change your mind about the knitting pattern as I really have been looking for ages to find one and it’s amazing! It seems no one else has tried to make it! Well done on your fantastic project, and my email is jed5@aber.ac.uk and I’d really really appreciate if you could share your pattern. Thanks a lot!

Hey there. Sorry to bother you, but I’ve been looking all over the internet for ages for the About a Boy jumper or a pattern to make it – and I think you may literally be the only person in cyber-space to have made one! Is there any way I could persuade you to send me the pattern? I’d pay you for it, and promise not to publish it anywhere, it’s just I’ve been looking forever! Me and my friend watched the film years and always wanted the jumper! Thanks a million. Jen x (my email is jed5@aber.ac.uk or jenataber@hotmail.co.uk)
Wonderful! I just saw it on Craft and had to forward the link to everyone! I just love this so much!
