Yes, that's right - one of the benefits of being known as an artist is that you can call things anything you like! Lucky accident, it turned out okay - it's a cardigan. Have no idea what you're doing only one sleeve and no neck opening - freeform art symbolising the death of chivalry 😊.
Perhaps an idea is to create a decal or centrepiece for the back (possibly a more simple pattern for the fronts and sleeves, picking up motifs) and then knit or crochet it into a garment. Alternatively, create a garment using intarsia knitting technique - this is what I was originally thinking with the ideas from the Revolutionary Art post.
But I am also taken with your mixed media ideas - perhaps some is knitted/crocheted and perhaps some is coloured with dyes or bleached.

How to knit and crochet a cardigan sideways
You have inspired me.... I have started a freeform crochet art piece with wood (If I am ready on Monday I will decide if it is utter sh** or art :-D)
With the cardigan worked out of a centrepiece, I remember a free ravelry pattern I always wanted to try, but never did...

and there are some beautiful patterns which mix crochet and knitting, e.g. by Marie Wallin (you perhaps know them already - because of the Rowan magazines)

And at last I remembered this sweater which is a kind of Irish crochet / freeform crochet mix and it is so stunning:

ok now I stop… Sorry I got overboard with the pattern suggestions... I so love knitting/crochet patterns. Please feel free to ignore everything.
