Sweaters for Mo Rocca




Mo Rocca made a tragic mistake last week during his appearance on NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me." He said he didn't care for handknit sweaters because they're always so itchy. Well, of course, the Ravelry community was having none of it. They've embarked on a campaign to knit for Mo, and to prove to him that all handknits are not itchy. Fine merinos and alpacas are quite nice, though I do seem to favor mercerized cotton. 

Someone on the boards suggested that those of us who couldn't commit to a whole sweater make some tiny ornament sweaters. That seemed fun and do-able, so I cast on with some green baby yarn I have left over from making slippers. The result is the Team Rocca Jersey Sweater!
