NOTE I held the yarn double-stranded.

12/12/10 - My husband overheard a classmate in the student lounge talking about her desire to give a handknit sweater to her husband for Christmas. He volunteered me for the job! We met yesterday to pick out the yarn, and she brought me a sweater from his closet to use as a guide.
