To be honest it's a little unfair calling this jumper evil. It was, after all, me who told Tracey it would be okay to use the King Cole Merino DK instead of the recommended yarn. It was me who carefully knit, washed and measured the swatch and it was me who, finally, took forever to finish it all the time thinking 'this is a little large' and assuming it would all come out fine in the wash.
Well it didn't. It was large, heavy and my already not-great finishing off looked even worse in the cold light of day.
The worst of it is that I'd loved this yarn when I'd first picked it and now I can't look at it without shivering slightly and remembering the hours upon hours of crazed knitting I'd put into it.
