My husband Bob has seen this commercial a few too many times...
He's decided that I should knit him a Lakers jersey and I don't even know where to begin. Every time I talk about yarn or knitting or going to a yarn store, he asks me when I'm going to get started on his jersey. At first I thought he was kidding, but now I'm pretty sure he actually wants me to knit him a Lakers jersey. I tried to explain that while I love the color purple, the techniques involved in knitting a garment that says "Lakers" on it, not to mention the great big number 32 that he has requested are tricky and don't interest me. Unfortunately, I don't think he's going to shut up about it until I knit the thing and he sees how ridiculous a knitted basketball jersey is in real life. If anyone has a pattern for a great big man sized basketball jersey, let me know.
AAAAAHAHAHA! Ask Bob if he would accept a quilted Lakers jersey. I bet it's easier to quilt a 32 than it is to knit a 32. I'd be happy to make the jersey with a snappy combination of semi-matching purples. He'll love it.

Heh...Good luck with that! DH seems obligated to run and get me everytime that commercial is on TV, or any that involve knitting. He'll pause the TV so I can see..even if I have seen the commercial many times before! Luckily he hasn't asked for one though.

maybe you guys should make one of each and we can see in actuality which one does look better. Quilted or Knit?
love it

What if u just make the vest part first and then do the lettering/numbering afterwards on top. I think that may be a lot easier. Good luck!
