Totally understand about pausing sweater knitting. I’ve decided that after this year, I am limiting myself to 2-3 sweaters a year for myself. I have plenty of sweaters that I love and I want to be more selective on designers and choices in general. (Now I average 20 sweaters a year) 💕 Lorien
Lorien, I think that sounds very reasonable, I think when we slow down a little we are also able to appreciate and enjoy what we are making instead of jumping to the next thing. 🖤
I am knitting Juniper Brook by Jennifer Beale. All of her designs have such unique construction...I think from now on I'll always have one of her designs on my needles ❤😊
Your sweater turned out great! I bought the pattern too so I am planning to make it. I might do charcoal Susurro. It s a linen mix. I was going to buy that Sook Moon and contacted them but they still haven't got back to me so I decided I would do Purple Coke instead. I'm working on the collar for my Rebel cardigan. Solid black wool/aplaca. I absolutely love how squishy soft it is. I have plans for a second on already. I also started that Le Bandana. The intarsia one. I love it. I'm kind of going rouge though. It calls for sport and I had fingering so...that's what I'm using. The main color is black and my accent color is multicolored pastel with just a bit of black speckles. I really like the way the icord and increases are done. I will plan to do it this way on anything with an icord. Forever. It's fun to take time to learn new skills so have fun with your spinning. I have a question for you. What do you do with your leftover yarn.
Heather I have a little pile of left over yarns that will be a LAERKE BAGGER design but I am not sure which one yet I have several patterns I want to knit that will use up scraps, but I just haven't gotten around to making them yet, do you have lots of scraps? Do you have plans for them?
I don't have too many. I started making mini balls with the leftovers and I put them in a glass container so you can see them. Stuff that is enough for heals or cuffs of socks I keep. I was thinking of doing a marled sweater with them. Throw them all in a bag and whatever I grab first is the one I use and so on. Thanks again for the pattern. I really am having fun with it. Will tag you when I finish it.
Hello, Thank you for podcast, times fly so fast:) I am small business owner and half time web developer. didn't know that PomPom magazine this is a last edition. I think I need last edition on my shelf.
@mngmay and @martyjangles I am just doing 2 craftsy classes one is for drafting from worsted to woolen and the second is ply to knit I know that craftsy often has various deals for classes or for membership , I just bought the classes at some sort of discount because I didn’t want to have to try and cancel something later on
