rocking the big three-seven
December 16, 2008
Here’s a little sweater I started in September. It’s the sort of quick and easy knit that should be finished in a couple of days but I’m a much better starter than a finisher. And projects are much more satisfying if they languish in a corner mere inches of being complete for a month or two, aren’t they? Oh, maybe that’s just me, then. Never mind!
Specs: top down raglan worked in various laceweight-ish scraps on a 6mm circular needle. The red and dark gray are handspun (Brown Sheep mill ends from Sheep Shed Studio), light gray is recycled wool/mohair, black is a mystery fibre (I think also a wool/mohair blend), a tiny bit of a Value Village score from aeons ago. I still have a skein as big as my head. I wanted it to be messy and hole-y, so I added a yarn-over whenever I felt like it and also dropped a few stitches (I wish I’d dropped more). It fits pretty well without blocking but I’m not certain it will be all that durable or that it won’t stretch all out of shape with wear. We’ll see.
I’ve decided to jump on the 365 days bandwagon, because I miss the routine of taking photos of myself every day. Today is day one. So far I haven’t missed a day!
