Tonight I finally finished binding off my sweater. I still have about 25 ends to weave in and then give it a good soak and block, but I’m planning to wear it to work sometime next week once it’s dry.

Only the 2nd sweater I’ve ever knit and I’m extremely happy with how it came out. Already planning my next sweater project - a cardigan this time.

Pattern: Sunanami pullover

Yarn: Knit Picks Capretta superwash in color eclipse heather

This sweater took me 15 months. But that includes not knitting it over the summer because having it in my lap was too hot (like having a lap blanket). And only knitting 30-60 minutes a day on days I have time to knit.

I also knit 2 hats, 3 pairs of socks, and a stuffed animal while I was working on the sweater. Which is pretty normal for me, I get bored with these bigger projects and need side quests along the way.
