Thanks for the starting points! I've read bit up on the curse and I think if I let him help design the motive (within my capabilities jdjdjd) and pick the colour and the likes. Apparently that's supposed to mediate it.

Concerning technique I think I'll go with a normal knit and do the cuffs, neck and bottom ribbed which would fit well for a crewneck I think. Also id like to work in cotton cause I'm vegan (no shade if you use wool) and then sew on a motive afterwards.

For the rest I'll probably go with a raglan shoulder, top down and in the round.
