Hubby's Sweater


No matter how many times I moved him Tigger felt it was his right to be in the photo.
Before I could pick up the camera he would be right back.

Anyway, this is hubby's sweater.  Since hubby is allergic to wool -- hives kind of allergic -- I used 
a Red Heart worsted weight.  Nothing fancy, but he's been wearing the camo one I made him for 10 years so I know he will wear this one.  

Rarely is knitting frugal, but in this case it just happened to work out that way.
I used approximately 24 ounces of yarn on this.  I was fortunate enough to buy the yarn half price and that gave me a cost of  approximately $10 in this sweater.  If he wears it at least 10 years I figure it would be a dollar a year. 

The colors are a heather gray and a charcoal gray. 

I have several other projects lined up, but I imagine I won't start anything until after Thanksgiving.

    1. Thanks Lisa. Somehow I could see Tigger all tangled up...lol. He's a rotten kitty, but a good companion.

      Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
