I really love how those holes turned out.

I totally love the looks of your sweater! A pattern would be great. The used look is awesome. Don't understand why people feel the need to comment if they don't like it. I hope you don't let it get to you. Your wprks are really great. :)

If hobos wear this, why shouldn't stylish non-hobos? I think it's super cool......drink your Haterade elsewhere you rascals....... :-)

Sorry, definitely not my style. Probably a symptom of my age and the era I grew up. [I'm older than dirt.]

To each his own...I'm glad it turned out the way you wanted it to, especially the holes. I personally wouldn't spend my time making something that doesn't look right to me. When I make a garment, there is no doubt that I know what I'm doing. :)

Sorry, it looks like really bad stitching. And not sure about "Hobo" being a good name either.

I think my kids would like it -- maybe. Cute idea, but my friends would think I was lyin' if I said I knew how to knit or crochet. That's just me though.

I want to wear something that doesn't look like the dog got ahold of it.

Haven't you ever bought distressed jeans? Or a faded t shirt?

Never bought "distressed" jeans....they cost a fortune & I have jeans that look just like them I've worn for years. More money than sense to pay the price they want for ripped jeans.
