"It's itchy, scratchy and it's spreading. Is that bad?"

The itch and scratch could mean you're allergic to wool. The spreading means your wife (God rest her shark ravaged soul in the briny deep) probably didn't use the right hooks when crocheting the sweater. A controlled wash in hot water might stop the spreading by causing some shrinking in the yarn. It's worked for me with sweaters that kept spreading. But if you do it wrong you could end up with a thick felt pot holder.
