That's three partial balls of yarn completely used up plus part of a fourth. Two of them finished the round with only a couple of inches left. Using all the yarn is so gratifying.
And I also knit another baby sweater, even smaller than the last one. It didn't use all the yarn but was still cute.
And then there's the scarf that I haven't photographed yet, and I'm past the heel turn on the current socks. But my poor lonely sweater needs love, so I mean to give it some. Real Soon Now.

That hat is gorgeous!!! You did a great job figuring out the yarn.
ReplyDeleteThe little itty-bitty sweater is adorable too. Congrats on the finishes. Now go get that sweater. LOL
What lovely knits! The hat looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have a basic hat pattern, so when I have the urge to do colorwork, I cast on a plausible number of stitches, do an inch and a half of twisted ribbing, and then pull out one of my books of colorwork patterns, choose one with the right stitch count and then repeat, changing yarns and patterns until I hit the decreases. You can do pretty much any pattern and it comes out looking great.
DeleteThis is the year I am going to do colorwork, dammit. I've had a pattern picked out for forever. And the yarn.
DeleteOh, splendid! Though I warn you, it's addictive.
DeleteI love that hat! And the baby sweater reminds me I need to make more of those.
ReplyDeleteAs for colorwork, I'm convinced that Kaffe Fassett was the impetus for the hand-dyed yarn market coming into existence: All that playing with colors but with far far less work to pull it off.
