It is a beautiful sweater and it would be a shame for him not to wear it. Sorry about the socks - cotton! My sister (who is much smaller than I am) made herself a cotton sweater - it grew so much that it fit me - and then grew more and I had to give it away. We laugh about it now - its probably a house covering at this point. <br /><br />ButJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441911699942140262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104326227793912888.post-51856513090029794732009-08-18T09:40:53.917-04:002009-08-18T09:40:53.917-04:00LOL!

He's almost 6'4", but his height is in his torso, so whatever I make will have to be made 3-4" longer than the patterns says. It'll have to be XXL, so I'm really in no great rush to make him one. Socks are bad enough for size 12/13!lexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349151799470816752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104326227793912888.post-40284244874251045482009-08-18T02:43:48.379-04:002009-08-18T02:43:48.379-04:00I am on your side, give attitude, don't give a...I am on your side, give attitude, don't give any knitting gifts.

I've knit enough things that didn't stay like they should have, like cotton socks. I've started knitting those very plain. 1-2inches of ribbing and then all stockinette stitch since they just don't hold shape anyway. They're great for the betweene TheBlackSheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384038059799833795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104326227793912888.post-91454712982983647972009-08-17T23:30:58.495-04:002009-08-17T23:30:58.495-04:00Oh the woes of knitting for the men in our lives L...Oh the woes of knitting for the men in our lives LOL They need to be nothing but positive...it should be in a contract somewhere that they have to sign...no complaints on knitted items LOLAlishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385181218337778128noreply@blogger.com
