Yeah, I know, it's super nice, but expensive :/ $130 if you buy 9 skeins (but he used a little over 9, so really $145) from yarnandfiber.com, so not something I can afford right now either, I guess, especially since I'd have to pay 25% VAT and stuff. I'm sure you could find cheaper yarn (haven't heard of bulk discounts for yarn in Norway, dunno about the US), but $14,55 for 250 grams isn't really expensive, the pattern just requires so much of it :/
I'm not sure how, but those things took 10 years off of you.
Haha, this. In the first photo, I went "Wow, he doesn't look anything like he did as a kid.", but then in the second one, he looked pretty identical to how he looked as a kid, just with longer hair.
