wing it
Wednesday, April 17, 2019
Ha. Well, I don't know what to call this since I just sort of winged it. Maybe "wing it" would be a perfect name! I wanted a sweater that was more like a sweatshirt, and since I had just enough Woolfolk Luft, I thought I would give it a try.
I did a swatch, measured one of my sweatshirts, and started to knit. I am pretty pleased with the results.
It's a very wearable sweater. And super cozy.
I couldn't decide what to do for the ribbing. After giving a 2x2 rib a try, I decided it might look a little more feminine with a garter rib.
The Woolfolk Luft yarn is so dreamy. And I'm not sure this color shows in photos very well. Sometimes it looks brown and sometimes it looks like a deep dark eggplant. Or a raisin. But the true color is Aubergine, L9.
I may consider writing this pattern up. However, I will probably have to knit another one as my notes aren't that great. 😜 They are full of numbers that I wrote, crossed off, erased, etc. Which was fine with me because I have always been a numbers person!
