 1. My Dad made it about 28 years ago and just never finished putting the pieces together.
2. It has a snowflake pattern.
3. The pattern is not complete and I see no reason to finish it.
4. It’s bulky and somewhat shapeless which suits my too-big-belly just fine.
5. It’s warm and snuggly.
6. It gets comments and compliments which gives me a reason to brag about my Father.
7. It’s encouragement for me to finish my first sweater, a terrifying project of which I’ve finally started.
8. How many people do you know that get to wear something their parent made?
9. I can say I did it because I did put the pieces together.  No one has to know that I didn’t do very much of it.
10. I gives me one more reason to pity the people that think I’m the loser because I knit.
