I knit another sweater hehe. Stripes and rabbits. Yarn is all from my stash, I've been trying to use it up. It's also all secondhand (acrylic). I'm excited to have it finished and I'm wearing it right now! It was a lot of fun to make, though I was paranoid about losing yarn chicken the whole time haha. The chart is from Pinterest (I did not make it). I'll attach it below in case anyone wants to use it. I figured out the shaping and everything for the sweater myself, so there's no pattern for that, but it's pretty much just a simple bottom up sweater.

I have completed a new sweater! Made of secondhand wool yarn, and the body is cabled using the simple mock cable pattern from vogue knitting. Pattern is below.

The rest is self drafted. Sleeves are knit in what I think is an incorrect way to knit rice stitch. I used the rice stitch tutorial from the new stitch a day website to learn it, but I think I did it wrong. I like how it looks anyway. The sweater needs to be blocked still (I cast off an hour ago...) but I'm excited about it!

I used Patons Totem 8-ply wool yarn (I think it's discontinued sadly) in shade 119. I got it secondhand, as I do most of my yarn.

I used size 10 needles and cast on 160 stitches, worked in the round bottom up. Sleeves have two stitch decreases every 4th row. That's about it I think!

Something else I finished today! Another duplicate stitched sweater. The design looks different on the sweater because I didn't think about how knit stitches are a little more rectangular and I used a cross stitch chart making website (FlossCross) to create the design. I still think it looks great though! I'm excited to wear it when it gets a little colder! The chart is below, feel free to use it for whatever you want! And please show me your cool projects if you do!
