Guillotine Girl

Working my my first sweater~ This is about 4 days of knitting whenever I have a spare moment (I’m in the middle of finals, yo!)

I’ve actually never read a knitting pattern before, and I re-did the ribbing on the bottom like.... 3 times just because I kept getting frazzled over the concept of my first sweater. It doesn’t look it right now, because it’s jammed on short needles, but it’s got a pretty consistent texture/pattern going on right now!

I’m using Cascade Yarn 220 Fingerling [100% Peruvian Highland Wool, 50g/273yds] in charcoal [8400] and a blue? I’ll find the number for the color when I run home. It’s a nice 2-ply yarn!

I’m working with a vintage pattern, “A Pretty Lightweight Jumper“. I chose it because it only required 4 oz. of 2-py yarn- so I didn’t have to spend a lot on materials! The pattern also said “For holiday knitting, when you just want something to pick up at odd moments, you will like to have this work on hand” and that sounded good because I can’t always commit to knitting for a long period and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t something to intense.
