I’m thrilled and touched at how many of you asked after the is-it-okay Johnnie B sweater. The answer is that it arrived and it was … GREAT!!! I got it in the biggest size they had – which I think is 16yo +. It fits fit, I love the pattern and it was only about £9.

It is sold out !!!!!
oh NO!!! :((((((
Oh DEAR sorry to hear it’s sold out – it was still in stock yesterday afternoon. Anyway at least this sets a precedent – Johnnie B sweaters in a 16yo+ size will fit you if you are a 10-12 C-cup…
Looks great.
That’s lovely.
Mine’s with Hermes now. So excited! Just praying it’ll do for a small size 14. Though I suppose I could hang on to it until my 4 year old turns 16…
It looks really lovely on you. Such a nice colour. Boden had 30% off the other day, so I ordered the fairisle beigey one because I think the Johnnie B one would be a bit too small for me. I hope it isn’t enormously huge and itchy – I have the toughened skin of a rhino, so maybe it will be ok.
Not in the slightest bit jealous that you can fit into teenagers’ sizes of clothes, while I need sizing that starts with the letter X. And to add insult to injury, you look rather fabulous in it. Harumph.

Is it AT ALL scratchy?
it is a weeny weeny weeny bit scratchy in that it is not cashmere. but this is a v v cold weather sweater anyway so you will want to wear with long-sleeve t shirt underneath anyway
