I dug out this jumper today for a yarn-based job interview and got weirdly nostalgic.
I knit this jumper in my first year of university over the course of a summer far too hot to be using aran weight yarn, and it was my go-to hoodie for most of uni. I packed it away when I moved, wrongly believing that knitted sweaters cling to my chest in the wrong way. Then I abandoned it, too worried that I’d grown out of it.
It’s a bit short in the body, but otherwise it fits perfectly, and the hood is still the most drapey, best-fitting hood on any of my clothes. Not only have I re-found my winter fave, I’ve now got the sweater-bug.
Anyone got any good recommendation for men’s/unisex cabled sweaters? I think the bulk of the cables helps cover my chest.
(Pattern is Lichen from Rowan winter collection… ‘08 maybe? I added the hood, as the original had a shawl collar.)
