Fruit Machine

I can’t believe I made this sweater.  How did I have the patience, time and eyesight!!  I even wore it a few times as well.

Patricia Roberts was the designer and I think I  knitted it in the 70’s when I used to like anything by her and Kaffe Fassett.  I was just looking her up and saw that a similar sweater had been displayed in a collection of her work at the V and A some years ago.  Mind you that one had sleeves and mine didn’t, probably as I’d had enough and justI wanted to finish it.  I’ve noticed a few mistakes in it but overall it’s not a bad effort.
