Slouchy crochet fisherman sweater tutorial using macrame cord

I saw BjonesStyle's sweater and thought, 'I could totally make that!' Using a macrame cord and a healthy dose of delusion, I tried to recreate an oversized, breathable crochet fisherman sweater. The final result? An 8-pound project that I'm not sure was a good idea. Come crochet with me and find out if I recommend making this yourself... or not...
