“Don’t knit sweaters for significant others,” they say.
“They’re cursed,” they say.
I ignored this sage advice because I was pretty sure that, unlike the fabled Boyfriend sweater (in which the boyfriend is no more by the time the sweater is finished), Redbeard would still be around once I finished The Husband Sweater. However, I was not prepared for this sweater to suck all of the air out of the knitting room. It’s been quite awhile since the last knitting post. I have been “working” on this sweater this entire time. No other projects. Because, if I’m knitting, my guilt tells me that I should be knitting on the Husband Sweater. Spinning? Oh, no-Â Must. Knit. Husband. Sweater. Felt projects? Husband. Sweater.
It’s a cardigan, and I’m sure I will love it *once it is done*. Right now? Not so much. The back, both sides and four inches of one sleeve are done. My goal is to finish it this summer no matter what, just so I can work on all the other projects I want to do.
And I will blog the heck out of it once I vanquish this terrible beast finish this fantastic sweater…
