Good news,  It transpires that project x was indeed a dog jumper so I now have two Christmas jumpers Harrier has one.  Harriers is a checked one and mine is pink/purple with snowflakes on it.  Harrier also had a red and white Christmas one but mum said it fitted me better so I was given it.  Admittedly the colour scheme is not the most practical but it works really well I feel.

Aunty Biscuit has now started knitting herself a jumper.  As this is in chunky yarn I’m hoping it shouldn’t take too long, as in months not years so she can get back to knitting important things like dog coats, dog blankets etc.
