Cute Boy

It seems like years ago when I started knitting PT’s Modified Cambridge Jacket. It kind of was! My first update about this sweater was on September 6th.

I just reread that post hoping to know what I was wearing while knitting it. Probably a tank and a skirt. I miss you, September.

By September 12th I had it cast on and the rewrite was on.

Because I only worked on it while PT was at work and if he went out and left me home it was another month before I had any real progress on the thing.

And another month after that, November 12th to be exact, before I was finished with the body and stupid sleeves, which I was terrified were going to be too long. I added buttons on December 9th, boxed it, and put it under the tree.

No Monkey Sleeves?

It fits! It fits and looks good. The sleeves aren’t ridiculously long, the buttons look good, the sides look seriously great. I’m some kind of boy sweater knitting genius!

Good for Napping

It is also functional! PT was very happy and kept kissing it throughout the day. Overkill? Yes. But I was surprisingly self conscious about this gift! If he didn’t like it, it would be a huge failure, December 23rd, and no present. And what does that say about me? I don’t know what kind of knitwear my own boyfriend would like? I look through Interweave Knits and name students who would love each sweater!

It was a lot of pressure. I can see validity in this sweater curse, for real. So if you are going to knit a sweater for any boy, knit one for PT, because he was the perfect hand knit sweater recipient.

Now I just have to wait for him to dump me.
