The leaning tower
is a very old building.
My sweater’s older.
Or maybe this hand knit sweater just looks older!
That furry loop stitch is actually a bit tedious to knit. You need to hold the loops rather evenly as you form the stitches. So, unlike the ratty worn looking sweaters you can knit quickly and easily using lion brand fun fur or other novelty yarns, this one is difficult.
Is it worth the extra effort?

actually it´s not a common clothing style… but it always depends on who wears the things. and this girl looks definitely good in it. it suits her quite well.

I like that style but I have no experience with knitting. I was always told that as a left-hander no one would bother teaching me.

I wonder why someone thought your being left handed would make it harder to knit. Being left handed is not a disadvantage when knitting. It’s sort of like typing — you use both hands! In fact, if you knit continental style, the left hand does much of the fine detail work.

Meh. Still looks like Grover to me. I think you can only wear this and get away with it if you’re a teenager or a London club kid.

That jacket is one of a kind, would love to wear one on a cloudy day
Hey, and left handers can knit to, I do.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I absolutely think it looks great! She can really pull it off too. It looks so cozy and warm! I think its pretty!

Wow. I like that jacket. I wish I knew how to knit too. Sadly, I just can’t.
I wish somebody would be patient enough to teach me…

I like it. Looks like it is worth the extra effort to me.

I enjoy this old style jacket. I like fun fur jerseys. They make you look different and stylish and at the same, they don’t make you look out-of-date and like a beggar.
