This is my friend modeling his sweater, which he knit. Isn’t it awesome? If you think he looks good in this sweater, you should see him in his Navy uniform – holla! Unfortch, he’s taken (not by me).

He participated in the Smithsonian Community Reef, where he crocheted a piece for the exhibit. It is on display at the National Museum of Natural History, October 16, 2010 – April 24, 2011.

Visit the Flickr group for more photos of the Smithsonian Community Reef.

He’ll be retiring from the Navy soon, but so far he hasn’t opened his own online store or blog, but hopefully he’ll be able to squeeze time between his sit and knits to share his work online.
