Finished the second round of decreases, self-striping-yarn changed from yellowish-green back to grey

November 8, 2024

Finished 2nd colorwork section, will switch to white as a contrast as the self striping will be orange in the next stripe and I fear the contrast is not big enough to the pinkish yarn.

I am using the Tin Can Knits app again and I really like it, highly recommend!

Seperated sleeves from the body after doing the short rows.

Switched from 4 mm to 3.5 mm needles after finishing the colorwork.

Plan to add more colorwork bands app. 10-15 cm into the body, around my waistline or so.

November 12, 2024

Finished first ball of main colour app. 15 cm after sleeve separation. Will now add some more coloured bands.

November 15, 2024

Finished 3 bands of colorwork, body length now at 46 cm, so I will knit app. 10-15 cm for the body, I think. Not sure if I want to do the bottom ribbing with the self striping, maybe…

November 16, 2024

Started final bit at 25 cm after sleeve separation, i.e. I will have to knit 14 cm before starting the ribbing.

November 18, 2024

Finished body with lazy rib, i.e. alternating one row of stockinette, one row of k1, p1.

Picked up 88 stitches for arm, will probably add another colorwork band about ellbow length

November 19, 2024

Did the colorwork band after 15 cm, then started the decreases every 5th row after that

November 22, 2024

Finished 1st sleeve

November 24, 2024

Finished! Washed and left outside to dry, which should be ok as it is 16 degrees today end of November!

Took in-wear photos for the first time. Really like the fit, the neckline is exactly how I like it, not too wide. Only the arms could have been about 5 cm shorter - yes, I know, I could have tried it on, but I was too lazy…

Really like this, will probably use the rough guideline for another colorwork yoke sweater, maybe with a different colorwork pattern.
