Sh… it’a a secret

Glad to finally be able to share a peek into what I’ve been knitting! Full deets when the collection drops. Wool People 14: Chapter 2.

So excited to share my preview knit for Brooklyn Tweed Wool People 14.

Notes:

  • Went up a size to get gauge but left the original 2.75mm for the neckband. PS, this is the BEST neckband ever.
  • Modified to straight silhouette. As someone without hips this is a usual mod. I simply cast on the number of stitches after the final decrease and knit straight up with no shaping. Other than that no mods.
  • In order to make the purling on the WS go more smoothly, I taught myself Portuguese knitting. It was so easy and definitely made the process much more enjoyable. I am no longer afraid to knit stranded flat!

Sadly 1BR apartments with inadequate lighting are not conducive to modeled pics. Hopefully, I will be free to roam again soon and will take lots of shots then!
