WIP Wednesday: Pride Edition
This week's WIP Wednesday is a Pride Edition! Being a part of the LGBTQ+ community is a huge part of my life and a label that I am honored to have. It's inspired my knits as well. I wanted to share some pride projects that I've finished in previous years! Next week, I'll share what pride projects I'm currently working on.
The first is a rainbow-striped etrelac scarf that I knit for myself almost ten years ago. It's my go-to on cold winter days! It's knit with Lion Brand's Wool-Ease DK Yarn. Unfortunately, the colors used in this scarf have mostly been discontinued but the yarn still exists. I do recommend this yarn, it's easy to work with and not that expensive. The pattern is a typical entrelac doubled and then sewn together so that it's the same on both sides.
The second is a rainbow sweater that I made for my twin sister last year. Since I've been going through my stash, I realized that I had quite a bit of rainbow yarn from that previous scarf left over. The initial plan was to make an entirely rainbow-striped sweater, and I was disappointed when I realized the colors were discontinued. But this more subtle beauty was born! The basis for the pattern was the Real Easy Raglan by Emily Bolduan.
Earlier this year, I made myself another rainbow sweater, but this time in a simple brioche pattern. I'd found Red Heart's Stripes on sale as Joann's was going out of business, and knew I had to do something with it. This is the Dancing Aurora by Drops Design, and this is one of my favorite sweaters of all time. I love the way it looks and the way that it fits.
And those are my most recent pride projects! I'm always happy to show who I am through my clothing, and all of these pieces make me unbelievably happy. What are you working on this week?
Thanks for stopping by—let’s knit something wonderful together! My ask box is always open! Feel free to drop a comment.
