I have a giant cable knit sweater that is older than I am
My grandmother made it for my father when he came to Canada - she was convinced he would immediately freeze to death (not an unreasonable assumption given that Dad's family has been in Barbados for 5 generations or so, heh). Anyway, I swiped it when I was in the tenth grade and it has been my Giant Cozy Sweater ever since
But it's not much good in the wind.
