Notes

Using a bunch of different colors of Hawthorne Speckle yarns, held double, for around DK weight (ish, maybe closer to worsted). Changing colors on each YO round, for the yoke, then I’ll use one color for the body.

I’m doing the body and sleeves backwards (or inside-out) so I can knit all stitches instead of purling all stitches. I set up the sleeves purl-wise, to make sure the pickups would be clean on the outside of the sweater, and then after purling one round I wrapped & turned to knit instead. I’m working the sleeves two-at-a-time.

I knit the WHOLE plain body section in movie theaters! Now I plan to always have a plain stockinette-in-the-round sweater on the needles at all times, for this purpose. The movies I watched while knitting this one were: Jojo Rabbit (liked a lot), Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (hated), Knives Out (loved), Parasite (loved), Black Christmas (fun), Little Women (liked a lot), A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (liked a lot). I think that’s all of them!
