We’ve previously done caption competitions about Jed, the mysterious check-shirted man who seems to illustrate every mental health story on the BBC News website.
Now, the Nursing Times has Stripey Jumper Woman, who has been chosen to illustrate the government’s new agency for implementing mental health policy.
So, what is Stripey Jumper Woman saying?

“Oh dear GOD, not another top-down, micro-managing, superficially-impressive-but-actually-vacuous government initiative.”
Causes of mental distress, number 37: your so-called friends put a photo of you wearing That Jumper on the internet.
Shelley never recovered from her OCD after she spotted the mistake in her knitting.
“oh god, I KNEW i shouldn’t have googled the words lemon party”
(Seriously – NSFW)
“4…3…2….1….Un-asked-for goverment initiative: coming, ready or not!”
@ladyzarathustra
Not only NSFW, but also NSFL.
Emily could always tell she had been through a manic phase because it was the only time she was brave enough to wear the jumpers her nana knitted.
The therapist sighed – it was futile. No amount of CBT could make someone wearing that jumper feel good about themselves.
It’s Fair Isle for God’s sake, why won’t you believe me, doesn’t anybody understand these are not your average stripes, can’t you see the fucking flowers on my shoulders you morons?
Oh, hell yes. *Secret knitter salute*
Oh God, I can’t believe I’ve lost the bloody receipt.
“‘One size fits all!’ It doesn’t work for jumpers and it doesn’t work for mental health policy. Why didn’t anyone tell me earlier, BEFORE I made a tit of myself?”
“My jumper’s blinding me – AH!”
Judy was terribly upset that Jed had left her, stripy jumper woman, for tight tank top woman.
Oh God not another fight between beakie and OSB!
*not a caption*
I googled lemon party and all I got was a picture of three older men having a rather nice time with each other. What’s the fuss about? I don’t get it.
“Just cos I said he looked miserable in that checked shirt and suggested a stripey one instead like my jumper; that’s no reason to super glue my fingers to my face”
Fuck me, Z`s questioning the government now. The tectonic plates are accelerating in a Clarksonesque manner these days.
Come on, Beakie, you can do better than that. The caption should be:
Mrs OSB contemplates another wedding anniversary
LOL – right on!
Oh Jed! How could you! It was my favourite shirt of yours!
Mrs Rorschach rubbed her eyes in disbelief – Hermann had his plain red jumper on! What would the night bring?
“At least once I’ve ripped my nose off it’ll stop people staring at the jumper!”
Oh how am I going to tell Zarathustra I hate this jumper he bought for me for Mother’s Day last year ? I’d rather have a basket weaving kit ”
Side effects of wearing dodgey jumper in combination with taking Olanzapine = fried eyeballs !
Scientology cure for mental illness – wear one dodgey jumper and pretend no one can see you.

What I don’t understand is how that jumper works. Sartorially, it’s in two completely different categories.
Fair Isle jumpers: knitted by grannies for small children
Tight cleavage-revealing V-necks: worn by young female adults and bought at Top Shop
Such different species should not be able to create offspring.
Maybe she’s a rather flirtatious Shetlander?
To be fair, it’s not all that Fair Isle-ish. They’re usually a tad more colourful: -

I think it looks like a species of Primark hideosity.
*Knitting geek hat on*
Fair Isle can just refer to the way of changing the yarn colour – carrying the unused colour along the back of the work. (As opposed to intarsia, where you use a separate ball of yarn for each colour section.) Traditionally, they’d have a fairly muted set of colours, since they’d be hand-dyed and -knitted (and also Shetland-Isle-knitting-ladies probably wouldn’t be huge fans of X-Ray Spex).
Ahem. Sorry, that was a horribly nerdy moment. This stuff never comes up in pub quizzes, either.
Don’t worry – I knit, I speak the lingo.
Seriously? That’s awesome!
Do you use Ravelry?
The hairstyle’s not very convincing either. Looks like a DIY job with a pudding basin. Perhaps she nicked the jumper from a five year old – or maybe she’s Scandinavian. Or it could have just shrunk in the wash I suppose. It does look extremely uncomfortable. Probably itches like mad too. No wonder she looks so miserable.
Lorna – I do use Ravelry from time to time, yes. Though I’m more of a crocheter than a knitter, it has to be said. I’m way too impatient to knit anything more than a hat whereas crochet tends to grow a lot quicker. I’m also perhaps the most ham-fisted knitter in the country – an attempt to knit my partner a cardigan ended in disaster with it looking more like a knitted sack than anything else – whereas I seem far more nimble with the old crochet hook.
Anyway, yarn craft deviation must cease!
