Notes

December 18, 2022

After several false starts, I think I’m finally on my way! The yarn surprised me with some thicker, roving-like yarn for a stretch, early on. I went ahead with it and have some lumpy character near the neck. I’m calling it a design feature.

Finally done! It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty happy with my first adult sweater for myself. I apparently need to practice better methods for joining new yarn, since those are the only parts I am not happy with, but I will figure it out for my next big project. Practice practice!
