Notes

No gauge swatch, I have no idea if the size is correct or if I have enough wool.

There is zeeeeeeeeero stitch definition with this wool, but it is soft. It is also a degradé, no idea how this will factor in.

Also no idea how I will pick up stitches on a black/dark gray knit with no stitch definition, but that’s life.

I’m just knitting. I DONT EVEN WEAR VESTS. I’ll just knit. And watch random YouTube videos.

This is going faster and easier than expected. Also, the color variation is working better than expected.

This is a fun knit. I knit most of the afternoon today, so I’m just over the armholes join part. I will try to knit less per day to avoid hurting myself.

This is supposed/expected to help me relax and heal, and not get another new health problem sweat_smile

I taught a few friends how to knit and they dropped by today to check on me and to knit together. It was a good day. I’m making progress (on the vest and maybe on myself), but I have no idea how anything will turn out.

Still really tired.

I started the third skein yesterday. Will probably use all four, mostly to get the same color variation for both armholes. .

There are maybe 10cm left to knit on the body, and this might enter eternal hibernation because of the Italian bind off. After that, neck and armholes. And blocking. Let’s see.

The body is heeeeeeere (Trinity The Tuck, 2017). I have finished it for a few days already and, as predicted, have exactly zero patience to learn or execute the Italian bind off right now.

Also, the colors are looking a little weird with light gray in the middle of my belly. And it is likely to grow after blocking. I’ll either dye it or make it shorter if it looks to weird either way.
