Unique Sweaters

I know how to knit (a little), but I've never knit a sweater (probably because I can only knit a little). I definitely need something where there isn't a lot of shaping involved. Still, I'm fascinated by people who knit sweaters, because the possibility of making something truly unique is always there.

Look at this one. Have you ever seen one of those in a department store?

Here's more on Sam and his unique sweaters. What fun!
