You will receive a scanned copy of the original pattern which forms part of my collection put together many years ago and I am only sharing it with buyers as a hobby which I hope you will enjoy. I have personally made most of the designs shown in my patterns, they were mainly made for my sons who are now well over 30 years old! This worn by a busy mum many years ago (me) and now would be great to help with the cost of heating as it is lovely and warm.
I print the patterns onto photo paper so they are pretty robust and place them in a plastic sleeve to protect them. The originals show signs of wear and tear which may be apparent on the one you receive, there may be a coffee cup ring or some notes, where possible I will have edited them to tidy up. It will always be possible to knit your garment with the wear and tear having no impact on your ability to do this. You may be able to see crease lines where the originals have been folded in my knitting bag but I think this just adds to the charm.
