Hello Sue

I can knit. For a thick sweater you’d be looking at around £60 - £100 for quality materials. As a skilled crafts person I will charge you £25 per hour, estimate around 40- 80 hours to knit this, depending on the pattern and design. Do you have your own pattern or would you like me to design it for you? 

Or maybe try John Lewis or M&S?

Wow that's one expensive sweater! Do you have pics of your previous work? I'd be interested to see it.

I used to do a bit of contract knitting, back when I was doing my MSc. If I worked it out to am hourly rate it really wasn't worth my time.
