Provenance:
This fabulous jumper and bobble hat were hand knitted by a lady called Christine Stuart Forbes, who was the sister of Alan Stuart Forbes. Alan was an avid downhill skier and aficionado of the Glencoe ski resort here in Scotland. His sister obviously wanted to make sure her brother was warm and cosy when out on the slopes. Alan passed away in 2026 and his wife, Elizabeth, kindly passed on some skis, along with this jumper and hat.
Thanks to Christine and Elizabeth, and Alan in absentia.
