I can't recall any, but Fred  comments on Harry's sweater: 

"Harry's is better than ours, though," said Fred, holding up Harry's sweater. "She 
obviously makes more of an effort if you're not family."

And then:

"Percy Weasley stuck his head through the door, looking
disapproving. He had clearly gotten halfway through unwrapping his
presents as he, too, carried a lumpy sweater over his arm,"

Lumpy is not good.  But By PoA, she seems to have improved enough to tackle a 
rather tricky project:
"Mrs. Weasley had sent him a scarlet sweater with the Gryffindor lion knitted on 
the front, "

And again in Gof:
"Mrs. Weasley's usual package, including a new sweater (green, with a picture of 
a dragon on it - Harry supposed Charlie had told her all about the Horntail)"

Knitting-in  pictures of lions and dragons is not for the poor, amateur knitter!

And since this is the therapy board for the HP-OCD-afflicted, let's not forget to 
note that Ron gives Dobby his Christmas sweater in GoF.  Also, one of Harry's 
pre-Hogwarts magic episodes was the case of the mysteriously shrinking ugly 
sweater.
