In case you're wondering, I knitted the jumper out of some Patons Zhivago which I had already knit into cardigans - and unravelled - twice. Yes, this is thrice-knitted acrylic yarn and it doesn't seem to have suffered to0 much in the process.
The pattern is from Wendy Bernard's Custom Knits book - I had to add extra increases in the body to accommodate the extra centimetres in my body.
So anyway, my 47th birthday came and went with little celebration, except that for once I shouted morning tea at work (vegan choco cake and cookies from Midnight Espresso) and the boy made extra-yummy gumbo for tea, with extra prawns and scallops. Mmm...

Happy Belated Birthday Violet!
That jumper looks nice and I think it must look fabulous on you. Very Audrey Hepburn!
Sage: thanks!
kiwiyarns: yes, the jumper is very Audrey Hepburn alright, unfortunately I am not. But I still like it :-)
Happy Birthday! mmmm scallops.
donnasoowho: yes, though TLM has developed a taste for scallops too which makes for a very expensive fish and chips...
I am digging that rug.
And, happy belated birthday!
