I’m starting knitting my first sweater. I’ve been knitting for about 12 years now, and I’ve half assed a few sweaters but never got very far and generally wasn’t enthused and had little plan. But this one I’ve got a pattern that I like, I ordered yarn especially for it and I am determined to finish it.
I’m taking it at a moderate pace. Not rushing, but making sure I do at least a few rows a day even if it takes a while to get through them. I suspect it’ll take me a bit to finish, but I Am Going To Finish It

so i wanted to make a more coherent post about this but im impatient and don’t have time so you guys get whatever this mess becomes:
i have been having so many feelings about Wilhelm’s wardrobe.
we know Wilhelm’s color is blue. aside from the interview where the costume designer explicitly stated it, we kind of already knew it since almost everything he wears is blue, with very few outliers (his red button down, his orange sweater). it’s super interesting to me, however, that in the promo pictures for season 2, blue is entirely absent from Wilhelm’s wardrobe.
we only see him in casual clothes in 3 photos, and in those he is wearing gray, green, and purple. no blue.
[ i would also like to note that even in the promo video with the cast, in front of the Hillerska building, he is again wearing gray and not blue ]
and it’s had me wondering since they came out, as to why he suddenly wasn’t wearing the color we associate with him.
and really, i have 2 theories:
1: separation from the monarchy
blue is, of course, a color most often associated with royalty. aristocracy in europe is almost always some form of “blue-blood”. and i’m pretty sure the only other character who we see wear blue significantly is Queen Kristina.
so the removal of blue from his wardrobe could be reminiscent of his fight with her, and with the monarchy. we know he’s going to be causing issues, with the revenge and the “danger to the monarchy”, so, again, visually pulling away.
2: losing himself
aside from the connection to the monarchy, we know that blue is Wille’s color. it’s about him just as much as his status.
so the removal of it also brings up the idea that he is fighting to keep a hold on who he is. we know he’s going to do some... questionable things thanks to Edvin (”why, why, why?” im so afraid still) so i wonder if it will also tie into him doing something like that, and then struggling with himself to understand if that is who he really is.
im really so so excited to see if either or both of these come out with some truth to them, but really im just so excited to get new content to spend hours looking at the smallest details of.
