First of all, the sleeves themselves are unspeakable. Second, the gauge is all wrong for the yarn; the point of knitting is, at the bottom, a workable fabric (however configured) and the needles were much too big for the yarn, making the fabric much too open. Third, it's hideous.
And fourth, how about the contrast underwear? Oh, well, at least she wore some, or it would be even worse.
...or looks like a mariachi costume attempt gone horribly wrong.
Yup. Just what I needed to cover up my plaid beach romper playsuit for winter.
And just what is she hiding in those big poofy sleeves? Nuts?
it's for those women with massive forearms... it's like "athletic" cuts in men's clothing
why carry a purse when you can just knit two into the sleeves and have lots of extra storage? Let's see, cell phone, wallet, entire make-up bag, feminine products,my entire christmas list, the week's groceries --- yup! it all fits
Where in the hell would anyone actually wear that without being laughed at?
And it's in reverse stockinette stitch, so you can spend all day with people approaching you and saying "Excuse me, Mrs. The Sailor Man? Your sweater is on inside out!"
The sleeves are giant maracas - they're full of dried beans and they rattle when she walks.
It's a medical miracle - she's pregnant with twins!
You forgot the "toot, toot!" at the end of Popeye's Theme song!
Anyway, ahhh, yeah. I have always wanted a sweater that makes my arms look like the size of MY thighs, not her's obviously. Not a good look, just not a good look!
Wow! Now I fully understand the need to make a gauge swatch. The sleeves are so big, they've stretched the sweater all funny.
If you stick them with a pin, would they deflate?
Stupid - totally stupid. I can't imagine what some people are thinking when they design something like this.
"I'm 3/4 finished this sweater and I've got WAY too much yarn left. Maybe I shouldn't have used those size 19 needles for the body. Oh, well, I'll just add it into the sleeves here and there. That should balance it out."
The designer should be made to wear it herself, preferably to her high school reunion.
