My latest FO ๐Ÿงถ! The Mount Pleasant top by Megan Nodecker in Terrapin Dyeworks (two OOAKs from Yarncentrick). The purple bled like crazy and it stained the blue at first. Funnily enough when I decided to just see if it would overdye all the staining washed out and the blue looks fine ๐Ÿ˜‚

A little child wearing a blue sweater with Everest from Paw Patrol on it. Not quite finished as it needs eyes and a mouth. She is holding an instrument obscuring her face.

My latest two FOs, which happen to fit #showmeyourknits ๐Ÿงถ, as intarsia.

Both use Cascade Pacifica and other colors are stash.

The Everest colorwork chart was my own with Tin Can Knits Flax for measurements.

The cat was inspired by an out of print Sirdar pattern.

A modified Apothecary sweater by Saskie and Co. I pulled this from stash for a KAL with my LYS, Sow's Ear. The brown is Brooklyn Tweed, tan is something I've forgotten (civilization...civilian?), orange is Wonderland Yarn pulled when I ran out of tan (forgot to account for that with my tighter gauge ๐Ÿ˜‚).

Oh hmm, not much for chonky for #showmeyourknits this week. ๐Ÿงถ This Double Split Color Blocked Cowl by Churchmouse in Malabrigo Rasta is the only thing bigger than worsted I could find from the last 5 years ๐Ÿ˜‚. I loved it in the shop but didn't love wearing it so it went to a good home for charity.

I definitely found pain in my wrists from them. Sadly because I loved zooming round and round

Looks to me like at some point you accidentally slipped a stitch without knitting it. Shouldn't matter, you could ladder back and pick it up, but made a little harder by the decreases

Front and back are done and seamed up. Just cast on the first sleeve tonight. This is for my older kid and the younger keeps pressing me to get it done since I said I won't cast on their sweater until this one is done.

#showmeyourknits wips: a kitty sweater for one of my kids. Based on an out of print pattern by Sirdar so I'm winging it on the chart. I feel like it's too wide but this is already my second take so whatever; kiddo just said it'll be easier to see ๐Ÿ˜‚. Yarn is Big Twist and Cascade Yarns Pacific. ๐Ÿงถ

#showmeyourknits is a rough one for me this week ๐Ÿ˜‚ I think this might be the only heart I've ever knit. It's an ornament for an advent calendar I made for my oldest child's second Christmas. ๐Ÿงถ

Ooo! Bug, do you ever custom dye sweater gradients? Like to have the body and sleeves have matching gradients? Or maybe gradient sleeves and a coordinating color for the body?
