I started knitting specifically with this project in mind and was so happy once I was able to make it.

Pattern is: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/owls-9

WoW. This will sell like crazy. I want one and I showed it to my coworker and even she needs one.

Are you talking about sweeping the pattern or the sweater itself? Because the number of hours in a sweater like that would require a massive price tag just to break even at minimum wage.

Unless you have machine-like efficiency, sweaters are the sort of thing you only make for yourself and a select few.

Still waiting on my wife to knit me that sweater she said she would fifteen years ago ...

My wife knocked out at least two full cowl sweaters between the completion of right sock and left sock. A lot of winters with one nice sock though.
