My Brain: You should probably be #knitting baby stuff or blankets or socks for Christmas.
Me: I think I’ll knit another sweater 😂
Started this Friday night using Drops Nepal. Nothing fancy. Just a workhorse sweater that’ll last.

Still have to do the other one, but I managed to finish #knitting a sock this weekend. Yarn is WYS in the Owl colorway from the County Birds series 😁🧦🧶

Finished all the colorwork on my new sweater I’m #knitting, and it looks amazing! So happy I was able to do all that on the first try without any issues. Still have a long way to go, but the hard part is over! 😊🧶

Progress on Frog & Toad sock #1. Decided to do a shadow wrap heel. I may or may not finish it before my new sweater yarn arrives later this week from Wool & Co. 🧶🧦

Eyeballing this for my next pullover. I’ve done loads of colorwork before, just never in a sweater, so I’m not too worried about that 🧐🧶 #knitting

I still have to block it and weave in the ends, but for all intents and purposes, my very first knit sweater for myself is done.
Took me a little over a month to make. I used 8 1/2 skeins of Isager Aran Tweed wool. Cost was $126 USD (shipping included.)
End result: Priceless 😊🧶
