And also picked a colour that he likes to wear. <br />Hopefully you will find something he likes. Maybe ask him to choose a pattern and the fabric?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296166899902986689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286769324786393589.post-88143819852467223802014-11-14T10:40:19.882-08:002014-11-14T10:40:19.882-08:00Yes I know, I do the same and put so much pressure...Yes I know, I do the same and put so much pressure on myself. I find I make mistakes with every single item I make.

I guess I put extra pressure on myself to get things perfect especially if the garment is not for myself.Marike Smithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139294881592133195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286769324786393589.post-38426200445659761552014-11-11T11:52:55.472-08:002014-11-11T11:52:55.472-08:00Your sweater is beautiful!

It looks really great on him.<br /><br />I'm a little scared to make something for my husband. So far I've knit him a sweater (that he doesn't wear because it's too short and too hot) and sewn him a vest (that he, again, doesn't wear....not sure why). I want to learn how to make men's dress shirts, but worry that he won't wear them. That's a lot of effort to put in for something that won't be worn. :(Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10524828341998338425noreply@blogger.com
