Sylvester, 1971

I am entirely obsessed with this person's hand designed/knitted Rothko inspired sweater. I'm going to be thinking about this for days

The artist's instagram is here!

I never posted this sweater here but I love it so much and I need as many people as possible to see it. It’s entirely made with scrap yarn and it fits so nicely!! It’s like a yarny hug 🥰

Finally finished the beautiful Midnight Hare gloves by HattieKerrs on Ravelry! These are by far the most beautiful thing I’ve ever knit, they look like something out of a Jan Brett picture book. They’re going to my mom for Christmas, who will give them the love they deserve.

The brown yarn comes from an alpaca farm in my area as well! Can’t recommend the pattern enough, these were a joy to knit!

New project alert! I’m doing my best to recreate the blanket in this illustration from Matt Forsythe’s Pokko & the Drum, which has taken up permanent residence in my librarian heart.

Lifesaving tip for anyone flat-knitting a sweater:

The width of the sleeve panel (assuming it wraps all the way around) is usually half the body width. So if the front of your sweater is 120 stitches wide, make the sleeves 60.

You’re welcome
