It is one of my faux-Fassetts, based on his Stone Patch. It is heavy, made from Lamb's Pride bulky, and it was supposed to reflect the colours of the hills around Santa Barbara, California.
As soon as I made it, though, I thought it looked more like camo.
It also has a bit of a problem with the sleeves. I know, it was the 90s, but still, no one needs sleeves like that.
I wore it a bit, but it is too warm for inside, it's no good in the rain and you can't put a jacket over those sleeves, so there are just a few days a year when it is the perfect thing.
I've known all about these issues for a long time, and the poor sweater has languished unloved in a corner for some years. The other day, I finally shoved it in a bag for pickup by a charity.
Boo hoo! Farewell, crazy sweater!
I've given away some of my hand knits, too. Sometimes, you just have to.
ReplyDeleteI'd take it if you think it would fit. I could pay the postage if it wasn't astronomical. If it's gone to charity already, that's okay, too.
