You may want to have some acid handy...
To throw on your eyes. Because I am about to show you some fugly sweaters.First, the storebought fugly. Bought at Old Navy, it was too big for me when I was 25 pounds heavier... I kept meaning to frog this thing, but instead I threw it into the winter storage bin.
Pulling out winter clothes tonight, I decided to start frogging and have already pulled out two sleeves! It's much fun, but because of the yarn quality and wear, it's fuzzy and linty. The yarn is 40% wool, 37% polyester and 23% nylon... so it's not great, but considering I got it for $12 3 years ago, I think it's a good bargain. I forsee a sweater coat out of this.
And then... the first sweater that I've ever made. Three times. And it's still really, really ugly. This is the last incarnation, a pattern from a Leisure Arts book at Michael's. Back before I learned about waist shaping and proper fit. I ignored the fact that I hate high necklines. I just wanted to make a sweater. I did. And it's ugly. I've been considering frogging this and making it into a zippered cardi or something, but I'm not sure.
Enjoy the acid burns!
