Fantastic! Lovely cheery colours.
My remnants consist of browns,greys and blacks. I need to snap out of this dull phase.

I love oddball jumpers. And, if I may say so, this is a particularly fine example

I love it too - I'm all for the "explosion in a paint" box look!
Just the thing to brighten up a winter day.
Lovely job!

Re: stash buster jumper
Fantastical! You are very clever! It's just the kind ofjumper I'd love to knit - did you use a pattern?
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Love it. Looks like the kind of jumper that Mick Aston from Time Team would wear!

Re: stash buster jumper
thanks all
no no pattern - I just worked at getting contrasting colours together and tried not to repeat the combination that had already happened.
I'm thinking of starting another one.. after all i was making this one for years, so it will be worn out before the next is ready (mind you I am knitting more now)
It's nice to see bits of yarn from other projects.. 'ah those plum gloves i made.... ah that little baby jacket for my neice....' etc
The only thing i did do was to stick to the same type of yarn all the way through - DK in this case.
