Finally finished: field sweater!
I'm so happy this is done! This was my first time knitting a top-down sweater as well as using mohair. The top-down construction I'm a big fan of, the armholes and arm decreases look a lot neater. Not sure about the mohair yet, it is very nice and fluffy but I think the sweater would have also come out just as nice without it. I changed many parts of this pattern to make it fit better for me. The needle size, the body-to-arm stitch distribution, the neckline, the short rows, the sleeve decreases and pattern... but it was nice to add all these little tweaks to make it more for me!
After I did the yoke I started researching more about tension and decided to tighten my tension by quite a lot, which isn't great to do halfway throughout a project ':) the rest of the sweater came out a lot smaller compared to the yoke! But nothing some half-and-half blocking magic couldn't fix luckily :)

Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)

Sock time! With the agender yarn @roboticchibitan dyed for me 🥰
Really love the pooling
I also thought about crocheting lace, but I'm not good enough at crocheting yet. Also it looked to busy. Loved the cameo effect though. Agender pride cameo is a joke that writes itself

“Turquoise Sea”, a beautiful mix of blue and turquoise speckles reminiscent of tropical seas. This is aran, and part of the collection I’ve dyed on not-sock for @wonderwoolwales on 27/28th of April.

I have a long way to go with knitting before I get to functional clothing, but as someone who doesn’t fit into probably any if not most of the patterns out there, how do I like… do it myself?

“Amethyst” on soft smooth merino sock yarn. I am working very hard to prepare for Wonderwool as there’s so much yarn that still needs twisting up to look pretty and I have an essay and dissertation proposal due!
