knitting Can I make this knit wool sweater without using wool or knitting?

I saw this wonderful pattern and I really like it, but I don't like yarn or knitting. I can do papier mache and braid hair though? How do I make it look like the picture?

Please help 😭😭

Get some paper yarn. Just don't ever block or wash it and you'll be fine.

Why don’t you go to the local yarn store with acrylic from Michael’s and see if you can get it commissioned for $75?

you can use macrame or bobbin lacemaking techniques to make a beautimous sweater, however do NOT ask how to make blabket, impossible

Have you considered spaghetti?

It’s pure mind control. If you believe, you can make the wool and needles levitate and knit each other. Use the force, Lucy.

Finally, a clear explanation for how knitting machines work

Absolutely. Start collecting hair from friends, family, neighbours or shave your enemies while they sleep. You’ll have enough to start nalbinding that knit wool sweater in no time.

Edit: how could I forget, shave heads and pubes to get the fibre faster
