I had to laugh when I saw your comment about never wearing new clothes if you don’t wear them soon after purchasing! That is why if I don’t wear it, I put it on and sleep in it. I saw this tendency in my own life and found a solution. Maybe not applicable to all clothing but in my case most of what I wear.
Your sweater is beautiful! I’m a slow knitter too! I like the rhythm and meditative action. Of course, you know I use a machine a lot for speed, but still I lag when seaming and finishing.
