A Festive FO!


I've finished Julgran and I'm so happy with the fit! It's super cozy and I think it will be festive to wear during the holidays and I think I may jazz it up with some Christmas stitch markers if I want something less subtle. I'm imagining the stitch markers looking like ornaments on the tree! I enjoyed the construction of this project, the way the sleeves were picked up and the caps worked with short rows was different enough to keep me interested and I love how they came out. Also love the sleeve length. I did knit the body a bit longer just because if I wear it during the winter I don't want to worry that if I move I'm going to get a cold draft of air up my back! It was super easy to increase the length with the top down pattern. Another great thing about this project? A friend gave me the yarn from her grandmother's stash. It feels good to know the yarn was used for something fun and functional!

Julgran is Almost Done!

So I finished my Bang Out a Sweater just in time, and once that was done I turned my attention back to my Julgran sweater. Once it's done I have a baby to knit a wee little sweater for...and since I'm not leaving the house much these days I have a list of upcoming events to make cards for and photo books to get to...might as well use some of the time to be creative!



I just have the next stitches to bind off and then it is folded inward and stitched to create a funnel neckline. The fit of the rest of the sweater is great, hopefully the neckline will work out just as well!
