what can i say about a sweater that took me 9 months to finish? you would never guess the original inspiration was a Gaultier floor length knitted tank dress, but nothing about this poor baby went as planned. parts of it spent 7 weeks inside a suitcase somewhere in the Delhi International airport. it used to be long, have two different gauges of yarn, and seven different sleeves. there was a failed attempt to match the original dye lot, several different fancy stitches and lace trims, and a tall turtleneck. it was flung into a dark corner where it spent the holiday knitting season. finally pulled out and hacked into pieces, and put back together as a seemingly simple cropped cardigan that would have taken about a month to knit.
