First Sweater Project
| First major project completed after getting back into knitting over the last year (learned as a kid but then took a 15 yr hiatus). I've completed socks but was really eager to make a full sweater. The base pattern is the Haze Sweater by The Knit Purl Girl but I did quite a bit of modifications and I also redid the colorwork chart that was heavily inspired by the Scrimshaw Socks by Summer Lee. The yarn was given to me by my grandma and is Fleece Gold that I held double to meet gauge. I also made some mods about the number of stitches on the sleeves when splitting. My full notes and mods can be found on my ravelry page. Overall I am super happy with how it came out, there are definite improvements but it was a learning experience. New techniques for me were: stranded colorwork, picking up stitches, german short rows, and tubular bind off. [link] [comments] |
