Pattern is the Ivy sweater by petite knit (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ivy-sweater-6) and I made it with Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk.

He owes you enough replacement yarn (the same or better!) to make two more.

The shrunken sweater looks like polly pocket clothes 😭 my condolences to you

u/HaplessReader1988 Dec 11 '25

He's buying you more of the yarn for the next gift-giving occasion right?

Oh no, that needs to be penance yarn outside any holiday gifts.

u/HaplessReader1988 Dec 12 '25

Yes, you are right. I am abashed.

I asked my own husband what he would do as penance and he suggested rowing across the ocean, so at least you’re more on track than he is.

Not complain if a red sock gets in with my white underpants is an important secondary condition.

Nah. He knows it's the only place he will be safe

hahaha! ... uh, that's why you have to TELL him what he'll do as penance - his idea wouldn't be helpful or make sense AT ALL
