Last year I knit myself a sweater out of Patons Shetland Chunky yarn. I used the right needles and all, but after a while it seemed the holes (you know, between the stitches) became loose and saggy. The sweater now easily catches on to anything I happen to lean against. Have any of you out there tried a knitting pattern that worked so well you are STILL wearing your product? Wanna share your pattern? Any help would be appreciated!

I really like using the website www.knitty.com to find patterns. It's an online magazine that has a TON of free projects. I've never had trouble with any of the patterns that I've gotten there-- they hold up excellently.
Also, just to check, are you using the recommended needle size listed on the package or are you making a swatch first to check your gauge? Some people just knit more loosely than others, and so it could be helpful to use a smaller needle size than recommended if this is the case with you!
I hope you enjoy the site!
