This sweater was a Work-In-Progress since Summer'10. That's right, 2010.
I tried various self-made patterns; wanted to create a cardigan, but changed my mind. Then I worked on it for a pullover, but changed my mind.
Wanted so many other things, but kept taking it apart :D
"How many times do you want to take this apart?", asked The Hubs. I lost count. It must have been over 3 times.

Fed up with fussing with these 7 balls of yarn, I've decided to seek the pros at Knitty.com.
I saw this Holy Grail, www.knitty.com/ISSUEdf10/PATTmothed.php, and ran with it.
As I used bigger needles for thicker yarn, the result is this loose-fitting but stiff sweater. Having it loose-fitting was my aim, so I am really pleased with it, and happy to finally stop fussing over these 7 balls of wool :D
P.S. I am always creating colour-blocked sweaters, because I buy odd, leftover balls from the thrift-shop :D
