Just knit a huge Aran sweater in 2 months exactly.

My spouse treats his sweater as though it is precious and should not leave the house. Now I can campaign for us to go out and about at least once so people can see us in our matching sweaters, and admire his sweater in the process.

Now recently I decided to knit up that sweater yarn I had put aside. I looked around for a suitable pattern, and landed on the same one I had knit for my spouse. So now we have (sort of) matching sweaters.

This is how I knit the same enormous sweater twice: Back in 2018, I ordered yarn for a sweater for my spouse. The yarn came, and it was the wrong color. He did not like the color, but I did. I put the yarn away, ordered the correct color, and proceeded to knit a giant Aran sweater for my spouse.

Oh! I almost forgot to say - this piece started as raw fleece. I scoured it one amazing lock at a time, hand combed it into top, spun it worsted (so, "true worsted") and knit it. My first fleece-to-finished piece, and my main winter scarf.
