And now you will see why I needed all of this cuddly Hometown USA yarn!
I saw this pattern for a men's knit jacket in a book called "Classic Knits" and immediately wanted to make it. When my mom asked me what I would like for Christmas I thought of this yarn. It took almost 13 skeins to make the jacket but it was worth it for how cute my husband looks in it! I even have a few skeins left, enough for some cozy socks!
When I realized how thick the fabric was I was worried he wouldn't be able to wear it. Luckily, it's been getting down to the mid-30s in the mornings and evenings in the last few days since I finished it. Talk about good timing. Now I'm ready for the weather to get warm again!
Hope you are staying warm this winter!

ReplyDeleteAssunta,
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is beautiful and so is your husband! I'm glad Daddy Cat and I were able to help finance this project and that you have some yarn to spare!!! Love you!
