#heartover

Sweater knitting progress. Lilac heart lace has grown and the ball of yarn thats attached is almost used up. The hearts in the lace are a bit difficult to see but once it has been blocked the design will be easier to see. Blocking in this sense means wetting the garment and laying it out to dry. The lace is gently stretched open during the process which makes it lie flat and the patterns are easy to see

Closer image if rhe fabric being created by the knitting process. The little neon heart stitch marker is very visible at the top right. The other markers are hiding

Some more progress on my #heartover sweater testknit for @ambahobrien.bsky.social

Ive almost used up my first skein. I misread how many rows i had to knit before i separated the front & back. So yesterday there were some very tense moments as i put in a lifeline & ripped back 4 rows 😂 #knitsky 🧶

Knitting in progress with skeins of yarn against a white background. The sweater is knit from the bottom up and is in a length that doesnt show it off too well yet. The sweater is a lilac colour and the lace pattern is making hearts

Close up of the lace fabric. The hearts are a appearing but will look much better once it has been finished and blocked to open up the lace

Its at the weird stage where its hard to present well but my #heartover sweater is coming along nicely.

Im testknitting this for @ambahobrien.bsky.social using my Lilac colourway. Its a soft bright purple and lightly variegated its going to be so sweet to wear
