When Fuu-san announced his graduation in April 2025, I was midway through crocheting his ugly sweater as a life-sized wearable. I had been secretly working on it since December 2024, but his retirement sent me through a loop. Working on the sweater made me sad, so I put it away after May 5th and worked on other projects instead.
Today, I finally found the courage to finish it. 。゚(。ノωヽ。)゚。
A few days ago, the biggest storm of the year passed through Nothern Philippines. The storm was so big that I became anxious about flooding in our area. I parked my car on higher ground, made sure all the items on the ground floor was elevated, and even brought the dogs upstairs.
And then, I waited. I waited for the storm to arrive. I watched TV until the storm affected the satelite connection. The anxiety of waiting made me want to do something with my hands, so I picked this sweater up again and started the ribbing.

The sweater still has a lot of ends that need to be sewn in, but for now, I'd say the project is finished.
This is my first tapestry crochet piece, and I'm so proud with how it turned out. I don't think I can use this in tropical weather, but it works well as a weighted blanket.
If you'd like to try to make this yourself, you can download the pattern in my Kofi for free. Please do tag me or leave a comment if you use this pattern, I'd love to see what other people create.
I miss my Osheep... (。•́︿•̀。)
