My grandmother knitted me a sweater (we call them pullovers - either name bears out a particular attribute they have) when I was a lad, which had an ability all its own to grow with me - it was affectionately termed a 'sloppy joe'. Sadly, as has recently happened in respect of the 'Wrights Inhaler' (not a garment but similarly indispensible), the recipe/pattern for this fine item of appareil passed with her when she kicked the proverbial bucket (answers please in 'wierd sayings' thread) some good many years ago now.
Have you tried eBay?
