humulus
Friday, March 16, 2018
Love Love Love this sweater. The process. The finished product. All of it. I love that I realized that German Short Rows are definitely the short row choice here.
And I'm not gonna lie. I shrunk it a little (by accident) while blocking. You see, I always block using the washing machine. I put the machine on the hand wash cycle. And then I put it on the spin cycle to get all of the water out of the fibers. And I'm not sure what exactly was happening with my machine, but it spun it and spun it and spun it and in the process it shrunk it a bit. It was a bit bigger and boxier before the blocking. Now, not so much. However, I like the fit. I'll keep it like this for a while. Maybe trying to block it out a little bigger in the future.
Pattern: Humulus
Yarn: Quince and Co Lark
Needles: US 5 and US 6
