Picture this: Francisco de Quevedo.
Geeky Fashion?... welll, Geeky comment ahead.  Grin

I was reminded of that Big Bang Theory's Episode where Leonard is forced to wear, no Tshirt no nothing beneath, that itchy orange sweater some grandma or aunt had given him.

This sweater might be extra comfy but I naturally run away from warming, thick things... it's always the double-layer thin clothing which makes me warm if needed. The hat thing could be my thing, though.

Reflection.... just as in such episode Sheldon makes a point to show that he feels just as alienated as Leonard with the sweater on when he's forced to renounce to his odd closure rituals and integrity code... that's how we bitcoiners feel when wealth goes out from the Bitcoin world.

Bazzweather!!!!!

The sweater is definitely cute and the hat and scarf idea is great, but... I would recommend making Hooded scarves, where you attach the hat on the scarf

Those are hard to knit, but let me tell you how fast they sell. They are extremely popular to both men and women ages 13-25 which is the demographic here. Because both the hat and scarf are knitted together, teens and young adults don't have to worry about losing either one.


Example:

Another idea you might want to keep in mind is switching up the colors. Don't make it fully cream colored. Put some other designs on the hooded scarf besides the logo. Since I presume she's already knitted some hats and scarves, let her sell them away and make the next batch hooded scarves. Trust me. She will be a millionaire.

Not quite sure what sort of feedback your interested in but I'll leave a few notes since you asked

The handmade aspect shows originality and tradition, it looks warm that's for sure and comfy made with some love.
Design wise it is simple with a nice Bitcoin symbol on the center, perhaps sewing a pocket to it would make it convenient for  user who has a mobile phone to carry stuff around although the sweater does seem like it would be a fairly comfy pair of pajamas although it might be a bit hot so that is just an opinion.
I agree with the pocket idea! It doesn't hurt to have some fashion item be a little bit useful! Other than that, it keeps a loved one warm in the cold, and that's useful enough for me! She knew I was coming back to the states, so she made this for me as a surprise.

I'm honestly in love with it.

does it come in black Cool
Yeah! She could knit hats and scarves in black if you wanted. As I said though, she isn't available here to sell anything, so you'll just have to wait. Also, there has to be a lot of people wanting it in black. If no one really does, she won't make it for one person.

Looks very nice, but I would prefer the symbol being places on the left breast, where the pocket usually are. The centered symbol in the middle looks a bit awkward to me. The symbol should also be a bit smaller, if it is located on the left breast.

But that is just me. ^hmf^  
Yeah, I know what you mean. It'd give a more "professional" look than a "cozy mascot" look.

Looks real cute man haha.
Though it's a bit awkward we're using Bitcoin as a brand
instead of making a mascot for Bitcoin for others to notice (just a little thing I noticed for all Bitcoin-wear in general)
There really isn't much Bitcoin clothing on the market.

There are. You're just not looking hard enough Smiley

When I say clothing, I don't mean $6 t-shirts or something, because anyone can make that in 10 minutes. Not too many people are willing to spend 20+ hours sitting on a rocking chair hand knitting a cheesy sweater, then hand weave the Bitcoin Symbol onto it. (No offense to my friend is she's reading this, but I can easily tell she got a little lazy towards the end of the sweater. The knitting looked very loose at the end), that's okay though. If I can't do better, I have no room to insult her lol.

Wow that is one nice sweater. It takes effort in making one but putting something that suits your interest is another plus+++ . You have a nice friend in there. I hope there could be another color. I want one but I'm sure it'll cost me much because of my location. Cheesy
Haha I might consider auctioning my sweater away if her hats and scarves become super popular.

It's nice, and I think it would be even nicer if there is more orange color on the sweater (ex:change the color of the collar to orange).
Oh yeah, I agree! She stitched my username onto the back of my sweater in orange if you'd want to see that.

She does that with everyone.

Very nice sweater! Somebody should be making some Bitcoin Christmas jumpers!  
Thank you! And yeah, that'd definitely be cool to see!

You know how sceptical I am but why a photo at that angle ? I see the arms don't look properly attached and the Bitcoin symbol is just glued on ?

I feel the same way about the Bitcoin symbol being glued on. The Bitcoin Logo don't seem to be the part of the sweater but looks like it was patched on to a normal sweater. I think anyone looking to buy it should ask for more images and ask for the escrow if they decide to buy it.
