Not much progress around here in the past week, and I’m losing momentum… So, to avoid the very real danger of giving up before this sweater gets both its sleeves: Here I am, starting my magic loop, two-at-a-time, top-down sleeves. These are a lot of firsts for me, and I might be a little terrified :D
What a gorgeous colour! Good luck with the sleeves, and think how smug you’ll feel when you put it on and both sleeves are exactly the same length.
Don’t give it up, that colour yarn is going to make such a cozy jumper.
ANOTHER double knit Halloween scarf (because twins 👫)
Ooh that’s so fancy! I managed a pair of socks TAAT once, but kept getting everything tangled and at one point somehow managed to knit both socks inside out for like 2cm before realising. Suffice to say I’ve not tried it since🤦♀️
Never even thought of using the technique for sleeves though. It makes so much sense! No guesswork on length, no second sleeve syndrome, definitely sounds like the smart choice 😄
Progress on my second Halloween sock continues this week, I spent last Wednesday night knitting on it in the hospital while waiting for my other half to come out of surgery so there’s a sort of wobbly bit on the cables down each side where I lost concentration, but it’ll be a reminder of how grateful I am that everything went ok.
Half-knitted socks look pretty weird but hopefully you get the idea, I’ve just turned the heel and am about to pick up stitches for the gusset!
I also have completed my Justyna Jumper but still need to block it, so hopefully I can convince myself to do that tonight and can share better photos soon.
You’re perfectly right about the imperfections, our knitting is an unintentional diary. Glad that everything went well.
Beautiful jumper! It gives some (very) remote Elizabethan vibes, doesn’t it?
Love the look of that yarn! Two at a time sleeves are the only way I’ve ever made sleeves, otherwise I’d end up with one-sleeved sweaters.
