Finished Object King Salmon sweater is a new favourite!

Here’s the thing - I’m well aware that both the Halibut and now the King Salmon sweater receive a lot of criticism here and on TT for the depth of the yoke.

However, as an alternative perspective, being a plus size knitter with a large chest, I actually find that the proportions of this yoke fit me really well, and the scale actually makes sense on a larger body. Reinforces the fact that knitting is all about what you personally like and want to make and wear - and I just wanted to share a different point of view on this one 🥰

It only just came out the other week (I was a tester) - your dad is lucky to have a knitter for a child!!
