Wench (or argh, my eyes! I think that this hideous sweater just burned my retinas!)

Pattern: Teva Durham loop-d-loop wench blouse
Yarn: Jo Sharp Desert Garden Cotton Aran

**Revelation once I sobered up to the harsh reality of this sweater. The color, pattern, etc. look like unadulterated crapola on me. It's now in the goodwill pile, but it should be burned instead. No one could look good in this thing. Next time, I hide the valium, codeine, and ativan.**
