#elsebethlavold

Look, y'all! It's a SHIRT! Well, it's getting there, ha ha. I'm so excited that this thing is actually looking like it'll be wearable! See my story highlights for more pictures of this crazy little knitting adventure, lol. Still hoping to finish it in time for the #fnyretreat2018! .

It's a bit of a hot mess, but I made it past the sleeve divide, y'all! I felt kind of silly after looking up how to put stitches on hold, but thank you @tincanknits for thinking of newbies like me. :) . Yarn: #elsebethlavold #hempathyprints in #lineinthesand Needles: @knit_picks #foursquare size 6/4.0 mm Pattern: #mainsailtee by @oliveknits . I cannot tell you how excited I was to see that there are no YOs to give me fits alongside the twisted stitches now - of course, I was also tempted to just knit in the round without any of the fancy stuff... Maybe I CAN finish this by the end of the month!! Also, it goes WAY faster without the sleeve stitches! . #knitting #oliveknits #mainsailtee #myfirstknitgarment

I have officially cast on my first @oliveknits project AND my first knit garment! It's already the second try, but I made it all the way to row four this time and I *think* I followed all the instructions right this time. Maybe. We'll see soon enough (because I have VERY little idea what I'm doing here)! #mainsailtee #elsebethlavold #hempathyprints #lineinthesand #oliveknits

I'm afraid my inexperience is showing terribly here and metal needles are definitely a no go for me with this yarn, but I dare say I'm going to love the way this works up! * #knitting #swatching (yes, with the pointy sticks!) for my first knit garment experiment: #mainsailtee from @oliveknits with #elsebethlavold #hempathyprints in #lineinthesand
