FO: Hairy Sweater



Hairy Sweater
Pattern: EZ's Seamless Raglan from Knitting Without Tears (the best knitting book ever)
Yarn: Bernat Alpaca Natural Blends
Needles: 10 1/2
While making Oscar's sweater, I realized how much I really like this yarn, despite its high acrylic content. It's super soft and warm. So I decided to make a sweater for myself, and finished this one lickity-split. I really like how it came out. The sleeves are a little shorter than I would like, but that's my only complaint. One thing I didn't anticipate was how hairy this thing would be. It sheds like crazy. But right now that's exactly what I need in this crazy Northwest weather. And should I encounter Bigfoot, he's likely to consider me a friend.

You grew up in the home of a Sasquatch and are living with a Yeti and you are worried about running into a Bigfoot?

Well, at least you will be prepared!
