A Tale of Two Sweaters

The week before Thanksgiving 2011, I grabbed the top of my mannequin and molded some cables around it. I pictured myself in a jaw-dropping neon orange sweater saying "this old thing? I made it myself." Objectively, that isn't a great reason to do anything. In my case, it set me up for disappointment.   I was a 15-year-old freshly out of braces trying to be impressive and had never once looked at a sweater pattern, so I made a few strategic errors. First, I didn't understand the difference between my measurements and a sweater's finished measurements - hint from the present: a sweater should be bigger than what it covers. Then I made the choice to pair chunky yarn with size 4 needles. Two days before Thanksgiving and 5 skeins in, I was still toting around a tank top on a torso. That year I trudged through the woods of my great aunt's property in giant hiking boots and another skin-tight bright orange sweater that I bought from The Limited, a failure. The pictur...

Big Sweater Smaller Sweater

There's a picture of my dad that used to sit on my mom's bedside table - in the nebulous lore that is my dad's past, I would place it somewhere around the time he took a break from college and lived in Colorado, getting by teaching other sometime-college-students to ski. In this picture, he's leaning forward into the camera lens with a grin that tells you how perfectly aware he is of the power of his fluffy mane of 80's hair, and he's wearing the platonic ideal of the perfect fisherman's sweater.  There are two points here -  first, this is a man with standards, and second, I have wanted to knit this exacting man a perfect fisherman's sweater for the past 15 years. About 20 years ago, I had a babysitter who could knit. If my memory is at all reliable, she was a woman of no discernible age or facial features that would sit on our sofa while we watched Pixar movies on VHS and crank out stockinette stitch color-blocked scarves like it was nothing. Fast forw...
