It’s September and my summer top is done, which means one thing: My longtime WIP (once frogged, now being re-knitted) is out of the drawer and ready to cover everything in red hair!

Unfortunately, it also means that I’m using my old basic circulars again because I superstitious and afraid of changing needles mid-project). Significantly lesser knitting experience compared to my beloved Reflections.

It sounds like you’ll have it on time for winter - and it looks so warm! Love the saturated green!

If all my clothes weren’t black, they’d definitely be green as a second choice 😄

Managed another two whole sleeve rounds last night after posting this too so you know, totes storming along…

Totally know what you mean. My clothes are mostly plain black/brown/grey because these colours are a safe bet for me. I’m weary of taking a colour risk when I’ll put so much time and effort in making a garment…“Luckily”, knitting with black yarn is such a pain in the eye that I’m forced to pick a colour :)

Hah, yup, I ended up having to set a strict colour palette for myself because otherwise I was just picking weird bright colours at random that were fun to knit or sew or whatever, but that I never wore! Just not a colourful person deep down, I guess.

(my palette is like, black, dark green, dark blue, purple etc…embracing my inner witch)
