I just finished this sweater out of the Happy Hooker. I added some extra blue stripes to it on the neckline and sleeves, now it reminds me of a hockey jersey.

So cute! And I love the stripes. Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you? Did the monotonous stitching make you want to kill someone (that is pretty much what is keeping me from trying this project)?

Your Jolly Roger sweater is very nice. You did a great job with adding the stripes. Did you have any problems with the pattern? Does it fit nicely? It's difficult to tell from the picture in the book how it's going to fit. (tight or loose?)

Thank you everyone :)

The sweater took me about 2 weeks to make. The back was the most boring thing, marking all the rows and all the same stitch. I usually worked on it while watching tv or doing something else so it wasn't quite as boring. Didn't have any problems with the pattern even though it was the first time I'd tried a graph pattern.
