Sometimes, it’s not meant to be.
Okay, guys. You know what? I’m done with this shit. DONE, I tell you. This sweater has been on my WIP pile so long I don’t even remember how long. Five, six years? It was supposed to be my first-ever sweater. I was so excited. And then …… a mistake happened. I realized how hard it…

Now I’m not sure if I should claim that this project was inspired by Twin Twin’s Eurovision Song Contest contribution. On the one hand, it’s a very fun song – on the other hand, our poor neighbours lost abominably … … but in the end, I started this pullover weeks before I even heard this…
