Notes

Motherscraps II uses lightweight yarn leftover from several projects, including sweaters knitted by my mum for my kids, 2 sweaters I knit for my kids, and one I knit for me. As well as some silk that I picked up along the way. And a little bit leftover from Motherscraps I, from a sweater I knit for a nephew.

Frogged and re-knit

I decided I didn’t like how the yarns were striping and not fading into each other. So I frogged it back to the neckband and reknit it in a 4-stripe pattern to allow for better fading.

This is working much better!

As this is a scrap sweater and I’m knitting the body separate from the sleeves, the sleeves and body will have somewhat different colors (I’ll knit the sleeves two at a time, though, so their colors and striping will be the same).
