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.

If a reputation for eccentric knitwear is what he's after, then I'd say that will definitely help cement it.

This in no way detracts from the awe at your crochet skills

B. is very proud of his reputation for eccentric knitwear. I probably shouldn't have encouraged him!
