Sandrine by Bonne Marie Burns, in Wensleydale Longwool Sheepshop DK, in the Denim colourway. The wool is lovely; the pattern is really badly written and I have frogged/partially frogged it several times. Please read my notes on Ravelry before you attempt to make this sweater.

About Me
- PipneyJane
- I'm a Australian living in West London. Yes, I miss the sun and the cost of living is horrendous but it's been 20+ years and I still haven't found the escape route.
2023 Fashion on the ration challenge
Based on the original 1941 Clothing Rations, I have 66 coupons to spend plus the 6 I saved from last year, so 72 in total. I’m not doing the challenge alone - several ladies from the Old Style Board at MoneySavingExpert are doing it too: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6413555/2023-fashion-on-the-ration-challenge
