This week got away from me, I spent most of today thinking it was Wednesday. I started this sweater on Saturday. Thankfully we were in a city visiting family, as I’d overlooked the fact that this pattern uses 12mm needles for the body (the largest I have is 8mm). I was able to run to the store and pick some up right away.
I tried all 3 sizes for the neckline and none looked like the right fit, so I decided to do a provisional cast on and worry about the collar later.
Pretty gradient! It’s colors I’d never choose (I’m pretty cool-toned) but man they’re lovely. I swear that yarn porn is one of the best parts of this hobby.
So true. My yarn and pattern lists always grow when I’m around other knitters.
12 mm are HUGE, I don't have those either. But that texture is so worth it, it's beautiful!
Thanks! I was nervous I wouldn’t like how open it is but so far I’m loving it.
That color is so lovely!!
Looks like a lot of work! Keep at it!
Thanks!
That's really pretty! I thought it was a close up of a tiny sweater until I read the needle size. What yarn are you using?
It’s KnitPicks Chroma Twist, the Vermont colorway
