Making a sweater for my husband's ex-boss.

So I am currently working on a project for my husband's ex-boss. How many times does someone get in this situation? I would say hopefully only once. First of all, I would NEVER spend over $140 on wool. But then it isn't often that you are knitting a sweater for someone who can survive on just the luxuries of life. In addition, there is alot to live up to for this sweater.

1. My husband's ex-bosses Italian mom made him his last sweater.
2. My husband may want his ex-boss to become his boss again.
3. It might not fit.
