First sweater in process of the year! The idea was to find a basic tee silhouette that I could fit my shape and style easily. Something to wear over dresses or tanks and leggings. Even though the tee itself has a specific style with mohair and stripes, I was able to use my own color…
PLANNING: Use TdF2021 handspun (DnD Fibers) for main color. Sun Valley in Wine, Onyx, and Intermission are coming for the colorwork. Plan to continue colorwork at the underbust (possibly with a band of corrugated ribbing first). Bought the pattern from Jessica McDonald’s site. September 26: wound yarn and swatched in the round September 28: cast…
I think I used all this yarn. I don’t know exact dates, but I didn’t finish them before holiday trip. how was this not in my projects yet?!!
knit to pattern until 2 1/2” under arm. Added corrugated ribbing with handspun for 8 rows. Increased under this band about every 8 stitches to give a little more fullness to the body.

Bust measurement is 44 1/2. Cast on for 42”. Knit anytime it has a distance, use 46” size. 12 increases for armhole…
reworking the color chart for what I have + 5 purchased Unicorn Tails. 11 colors + MC. Yarniac’s Self Indulgent KAL because it’s so very bright and breaks into full skeins I’d been saving, which is very Don’t Hoard the Precious themed from the Sassy Pants Knitter podcast (as well as using the last of…
starting one more sweater before the end of the year! December 24, 2015 Cast on provisionally a row under the arm division. (next time, do several rows first, it would help with stability for the arm holes.) Work upward! December 30, 2015 finished fronts and back and 3 needle bind off. this took almost all…
715g (3.6 skeins) of the bigger chunks of ripped BMFA STR Heavyweight. 10-08-2015 Cast on prior to #alumholiday road trip so it could be knit on during the drive. By the time we got going, I had the body memorized. 10-15-2015 end of #alumholiday and I have 6.5” of the 11” I have planned on…
