My design ideas and advice: I designed this sweater for a beginner or for a lazy experienced knitter like me! I *LOVE* to have a project that I can just sit down and switch off with. Perhaps because I am always designing when I knit so always thinking that I crave for a project where I can enjoy the simple process of knitting one stitch.

I also designed it because I *LOVE* a sloppy joe, a sweater to relax when wearing just as much as I did when knitting it. Simple pleasures.
