Sweater progress (midwest.social)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by ChaosCoati@midwest.social to c/knitting@lemmy.world
 

Still chugging along on the sleeves of my sweater. I’m doing full-length sleeves instead of the pattern’s 3/4. During the week I usually only get 2-3 rounds done each night, so I’m hoping to have the sweater done by the end of the month.

Pattern: Sunanami pullover

Yarn: KnitPicks Capretta Superwash in eclipse heather

Edit: typos

Looking good!

How do you like the yarn? I've been tempted to try it out in the past, but the reviews made it seem hit or miss.

I’m liking it so far. It’s very soft and doesn’t irritate my fingers. It is definitely getting a halo in areas and I haven’t even blocked it yet, so I am wondering how it will wear long-term.

Now that my sweater is finished and I’ve worn it several times, it’s not a yarn I’d use again. It is warm, but it pills easily. The pills are very light compared to the yarn color, so they really stand out. Definitely glad I decided to wait before buying this yarn to make a sweater for my partner - I’ll find something else for them.

Not a knitter, but I just scrolled by this post while my wife is taking photos of a sweater she just finished on the floor.

If she wants to share I’d love to see it!

I would say it's all right.

... I'll see myself out.

It looks perfect for me, but I‘m half the man I used to be.

PS: Nice job!

I knew it was missing something.

Looks nice! May you dodge the hex of having posted an unfinished project and successfully finish it in good time! (Waggles fingers of good magic at you)

Thank you! I started it in January 2025 so at this point just finishing it counts as in good time.
