i love looking at these types of sweaters/cardigans on ebay 0:-) so charming. i have a question- what is the texture of these typically like? do you find it scratchy at all?
@neopetgameboy I find them pretty comfortable. Most Michael Simon sweaters are a cotton/ramie blend, so they aren't scratchy like wool. They're not super soft, but not super rough either. If there is embroidery, you can feel that on the inside. I can see that irritating some people. Being cotton, they are also heavier than a wool or acrylic sweater would be.
The hunting one definitively looks like a painting or a tapestry, I had never heard of these sweaters but I'll certainly think about them this weekend, and i thank you for that

furby nonsense -> furby gospel truth
i wish i could say i'm off my furby bullshit, but i recently started writing a very stupid furby essay.
oh these are awesome. The lobster one was made for people like me. I buy ANYTHING with lobsters on the spot.
I gotta find out if there’s a fish one..
There are definitely tropical fish ones
I had a big cow phase when I was 10 and I would have absolutely loved these. I mean, I would still love these, but I would have loved them then too
It was the lobster one that put me over the edge.

very good. i found a Y2K themed one at a consignment (with beaded 2s and 0s all over a black sweater) and it always gets a ton of compliments
thank you for that info! i am always tempted to purchase but held back by the potential for uncomfortability.
