Started dyeing swatches

December 10, 2016

20 Swatches dyed, used Excel conditional formatting to create a pattern and choose which colors to use and dye in bulk.

December 11, 2016

Knit up swatch of the pattern, finalized pattern and dyed the rest of the yarn for the sweater.

Took the project back out of the closet and made it halfway through??? This sweater has spent the majority of its life tucked away in the closet…

November 10, 2018

Determined to finish by the end of 2018 now… Just finishing up shoulders, will start arms soon. I think I dyed enough yarn… we shall see soon.
