I held the cover up to my DSO and asked in a casual way -- "Do you think this sweater is attractive?" His response was immediate and negative. Too bad when there are so many gorgeous and wonderful things inside. I agree with you 200% (100 for me and 100 for DSO).

I agree with this, and no one wants to hurt feelings here, but also think at some point I would have looked at the thing, sadly admitted that it just isn't working, and FROG it! While I am always looking for projects to showcase my variety of natural colored sheep and their wool, I would NEVER choose that one. It would make me look like something strapped to a large pallet, like the kind you see in the aisles at Costco.
