PERFECT FOR PANDEMIC LOUNGING!

This sweater turned out EXACTLY as I was hoping. I wanted a lounge around, slouchy sweater. I’m so glad I used inexpensive yarn because I’m not afraid to wear the hell out of it. If I had use more expensive yarn, I would have been constantly worrying about making the yarn stay pretty. With the Thick & Quick, I don’t worry about that since I didn’t spend $150+ for the yarn. I wear it all the time without worrying about “wearing it out”. All hand knits should be that way, right? AND whenever I wear this sweater, my small 7 pound rescue dog always wants to cuddle up in it with me. smiley

-The pattern has you picking up too many sts for the band. Mine is ruffling because of it.

-I knit the sleeves separate and sewed them on because my “pick up stitches” along a straight edge was not pretty. I didn’t add any sts on for this and I still have plenty of room in the armhole.

-This yarn grew a lot. I thought it was going to be too small and it turned out PERFECT.
