so it turns out, knitting colorwork is super addicting

A finished sweater from back in July! Not exactly a month for sweaters, but I should really appreciate it once everything cools off.

(in november)

I can share these now! Birthday gifts for my friend’s baby!

It’s done! The pinky/orange yarn has been sitting in my stash for years - it’s really satisfying to finally knit it up into something! Maybe 2021 is the year I try to go through all my oldest stash yarn?

A four-day sweater! I’ve never knit a chunky-weight sweater before - I’m sure this thing is gonna pill like nobody’s business - but it’s so cozy and squishy I don’t even care. Added bonus: it ate up a nice chunk of stash yarn.

The knitting kick continues! Started this back in September last year and just got around to finishing it up.

Upon completion I realized I’d made a goof and the body was a good four inches too long. That meant sweater surgery! I unraveled a big chunk in the middle, then grafted the two pieces back together. It’s... mostly invisible. I’m much happier with the new length!
