Love Hate Relationship...
with this, my sweater made with Rowan Chunky Print. My first experience with Rowan yarn. Love the yarn, hated making the fringe. Love the finished look, hated washing & blocking it. It took 3 days to dry & was headed for the bin if it got into day 4. DH calls it my line-dancing sweater, bless-him! Pattern is from Simple Stylish Knits by Hilary Mackin. The armhole depth came out too short after sewing up as her sleevecaps were small (her pattern, not my knitting I might add!) I managed to convince it during blocking that 7.5" was more beneficial to us both! Some side-shaping would've been nice too, I'd try to incorporate that if I made it again.
