Finally the weather cooled down enough to wear my finished Twigs sweater outside. Yes, the wind does silly things to ones hair! Also, it was a beautiful day. The colors of the gulch were saturated, varied, and vibrant. A good place for a FO photo shoot 😬 #thetwigs #thetwigssweater #junkookamotodesign #sweaterknittersofinstagram #sweaterknitting #fairisleknits #strandedknitting #coralgeraniums #pantonecoloroftheyear2019 #knitting #knittersofinstagram #ysscthursdaynightstitch (at Arana Gulch) https://www.instagram.com/p/By0ddmFDKjs/?igshid=sd7azdncx0zw

So far so good. It is knit from Superwash sock yarn, so I expect it to grow a little in length when blocked, which will be good; I don’t want that beautiful bottom pattern to get lost. The overall shaping will balance out nicely with the long and loose sleeves. It’ll be great for our foggy summer days, and is soft enough for just a T-shirt under. If I were doing it again, I would add a small border pattern at the bottom. I may like to use these color charts again on other sweater shapes in fact. Don’t you enjoy possibilities? #thetwigs #junkookamotodesign #knitting #knittersofinstagram #tryingitonunfinished #madtoshsock #sweaterknitting #strandedknitting #ravelry #sweaterselfie #mirrorselfie https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZ8PhSDvRh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x3xb4y2eed04

How it’s progressing: split for the sleeves, and now is where I pause to do math for my body shaping plan. I almost want to get more of the darkest yarn and do the rest light on dark, but that’s a different topic. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #thetwigs #junkookamotodesign #thetwigssweater #fairisleknitting #strandedknitting #topdownyoke #madelinetoshsock #manosdeluruguayalegria #addisockrockets #ravelry #sweaterknitting https://www.instagram.com/p/BuW7EvDDhfJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17nk4vrg8rkzj
