The Knitting Fiend

 

I knit this sweater;
it turned out a bit cockeyed.
Inexplicable.

It’s from Berrocco, book 253. I’ve linked to the booklet so you can see the other patterns. I think you’ll be surprised.

As to yesterday’s sweater: Sachi is right, it looks as though the cat had licked it.

In answer to Becky and Molly, I would like to confidently claim one of the reasons I didn’t knit yesterday’s sweater is that it was ugly, and as Geraldine noted: scary.

But, truthfully, I sometimes succumbed to bad taste, so who knows? I suspect, like Sandra, I may have wanted one, and was just saved by …

Oh, I remember! I was saved by the collective efforts of my Mother and Elizabeth Zimmerman. In 1983, Mom lent me “Knitting Without Tears” and I designed a sweater for the first time ever. It’s upstairs in Jim’s closet!
