I finished the sweater on Wednesday, having added to the collar because I prefer something higher, not feeling as if it's halfway down my shoulders. This is unblocked but I wore it to the knitting group Zoom meeting tonight and it fits well:

This is much closer to the actual colour. |
The KnitTalk group is doing a very easy challenge during the Olympics: State that you will do something, and do it. Unlike some groups, you don't have to try to make something from start to finish during the two-weeks-plus timeperiod (February 4th through 20th), for which I'd end up declaring a hat. It can be as simple as "five rows of a shawl" or as complicated as "three pairs of socks" or "finishing a UFO" or whatever a person wishes.
I said that I would make some mitts, which have been percolating in my brain and needed to get OTN. This is the first pair, for which I am working from alternating ends of the cake:
The yarn is from Lithuania and is scratchy in the ribbing but soft in the stockinette part. |
These will definitely be fraternal because you can see that one is more purple and the other more blue. I pulled the ball in half and flipped them for the second one, so the fingers part of the mitts should match, or be close. Time will tell.
