Project Name: Stupid Ugly Sweater Ornament
Project Link: Stupid Ugly Christmas Sweater ornament... with pattern and photo tutorial
Brief Description: This small ornament should have taken only an hour tops to make. Probably less. But as you’ll see if you read the description in the project link, that is NOT what happened. Between my first attempt, the second attempt, then the third sweater pictured here and in the pattern I wrote up, this took about 7 hours total.

@storerboughtcreation - lol, I did a sweater ornament a few years back and had a similar problem! I had to start a couple times and the yarn was so splitty it was a total nightmare and took hours, but I powered through and got it done. Your ornament turned out very cute!
@gozer - beautifully done!

Project Link: -0-
Brief Description: It’s getting chilly out and Fred requested a hat. This fits the prompt because it looks like it is knitted but it’s actually just tied around cardboard. I plan on making another and taking in progress photos so I will add a link then. PS. This took way longer than I thought it would. LOL!
