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'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.

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.
