Pattern: Sugar Maple by Carina Spencer Thread: Katia Polynesia Gradient #305

This is my first time knitting a proper clothing item and I’m so happy! The pattern has been really easy to follow and for the first time all my stitch counts match the pattern 😅 (I usually end up with 1-2 stitches more -or less-).

I was thinking of getting a spare yarn in a color similar to the teal at the end to lengthen the tee into more of a mini-dress, but I’ve been having a hard time finding one locally lol. We’ll see :)

What you been up to this week?

I tried to take a normal looking photo of this half-complete sock. But quite apart from the fact that all half-knitted socks look weird af, the extra long cuff ribbing makes this one even worse!

Still it’s coming along nicely, will be recognisable as a sock in no time 😅

As if you’ve gone with fingering weight for your first ever garment! That is some commitment right there. If you can’t find a suitable colour to lengthen this one I guess you’ll just have to make two…

p.s. I still often fudge the stitch counts a tiny bit too, nothing to be ashamed of haha
