OK, so.
First, a positive thing: I’ve managed to make a lot of headway on my crochet sweater this week! Something that I haven’t been able to do in… a while. I’ve finished one sleeve and almost finished the second. All that’s left is a few more inches of Right Sleeve, a cuff, and a neck.
Then, a negative thing: I have literally no idea if I like this sweater. Like, at all. Even a little bit. It’s wild. I go back and forth on it hour by hour, minute by minute. One second I think, “Wow! This is a cute, trendy style with a silhouette that I haven’t tried before! I love how it looks! And the bobbles?! So kitschy and cute!” And then literally the next I think “Ugh! Why would I even think that something like this would look good on me? And bobbles? Honestly, what was even going through my head when I picked up my yarn?”
It’s a real rollercoaster up in here.
So, I’m going to let you guys help me decide: Do I like this sweater, or is it immediately going in the Goodwill pile for someone better at clothes than me? Do I need to wear it with something other than jeans? Am I going to have to think about *gasp* fashion? Is it just the wrong size for me? Would I have to re-crochet it to make it fit better?
(Also, posing/taking pictures of myself is wildly difficult, so sorry for the… underwhelming photos.)

I think I’m at least going to have to raise or lower the cuffs- right now they’re somewhere between 3/4-length and full-length, which is not the most flattering on me. Right now I’m leaning toward shorter…
And I’m definitely going to add on the neckband before I make any rash decisions. I feel like that’s going to really change how this sweater sits.
But it really is anybody’s guess if this sweater is going to make it into my sweater rotation.

Keep your fingers crossed, and let me know what you think!
I’m a knitter and I’m coveting this sweater! I agree with maybe shorter sleeves. Otherwise it is perfect on you – colour, size and bobbles🥰. A floaty skirt would look sensational in the summer.
This sweater might be better styled with a long skirt? I think it still has potential in your closet 🙂
Finish it! Adjust the neckline and sleeve length if you think that will help and if you still don’t like it gift it. The bobble design is lovely.
I was coming to say the same thing. I love those cropped styles over a dress or jumpsuit 🖤
