At least I can mope around at home with Covid in my newly finished sweater. It has a little lid for my watch because I might need a watch again sometime in the future πŸ™ƒ

I know nothing about knitting but I really like the color change at the bottom.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

@stom that’s a combination of the different stitch pattern and the colour variegation of the yarn. I didn’t do anything to create it. The happiest of accidents :)

Hope you feel better soon. That is some top notch work. You could do much more than mope with that after recovering.

@Imgonnatrythis thank you! Yes, I need to get better so this thing can get the audience it deserves πŸ˜†

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I can write my entire knowledge of knitting on the back of a postage stamp in black marker, but I hope you feel better soon all the same!

I love the color!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Wow, that is gorgeous. I would wear the hell out of that

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Your work is beautiful! You are so talented!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, covid solidarity 😭 I hope you're well on the way to recovery at this point.

Amazing sweater! The colour, the fit, the watch flap, perfection!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@thegiddystitcher awww Covid solidarity right back! I feel fine, just so tired all the time and screens give me a headache. Not practical if you’re a software engineer… hope you’re feeling better too.

I was unnerved by this sweater because there’s so much shaping in the yoke and I more or less guessed at it. It came out better than I ever hoped for πŸ₯°

Ugh that's the most frustrating part isn't it, not being able to do basic normal things. I couldn't even knit for most of this last week!

Definitely on the mend now though, but same with the tiredness. They were really not kidding about the tiredness...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

@thegiddystitcher yes I had a knitless week as well. That’s how my manager knew it was serieus πŸ˜‚

Beautiful work! I love Skeindeer's patterns and this is one of the ones in my favorites. Get well soon!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I am envious. Knitted sweaters are so cool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It came out really good!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow. Even a two left handed bloke like me can say that looks really good and cozy. Like the different shades of red. Enjoy! And get well soon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

@neonred thank you! I will have to. It wants to be taken out :)
