This is why there have been no crochet posts for a while...

B. was sufficiently impressed by my crocodile stitch shawl that he asked for a crocodile stitch jumper. I have a horrible feeling this has strayed into "hideous socks so kindly meant" territory but B. claims to be pleased with it. More alarmingly he claims to have a carefully cultivated reputation for eccentric knitwear which suggests he intends to wear it in public.





It wasn't meant to be this large. It growed and growed and I kept having to buy more yarn.

Also, no pattern this time around, too much "making it up as I go along" was happening.

Am I the only one thinking that it should be a onesie?

Yes. There is something very wrong with you.

I suspect a crocheted onesie wouldn't work, but would stretch and sag in strange ways.

I'm sure you're right. Probably in a not dissimilar fashion to one of those old knitted swimming costumes when wet.
