Finished Applesauce Sweater

LindeyLeave a comment

Hey! It’s not blocked yet, but my crisscross shirt is done. The edges are rolling a little in the photos, but I’m sure a wash and block will cure that. As is my usual issue with speckled yarn, I think it looks better in person than photos, so I’m sorry they look pretty meh. (the yarn in the skein looks beautiful, obviously, and in person, the sweater looks pretty great in my opinion.)

The pattern is nice and simple, well-written and easy to follow, with a great schematic, and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the designer in the future. Love these useful, wearable designs, and think I’ll get a lot of use out of the sweater.

Double Agent Double-Cross

Lindey2 Comments

Since I don’t have enough to do in June, or maybe ever, I’ve also decided to take part in Camp Loopy, hosted by The Loopy Ewe every summer. I used to do them early on, and when they emailed this May, I was in the mood for some lovely timed knitting.

The first month’s mission is pretty simple: I’m looking for a double agent. (yes, it’s silly, just go with it.) So I got myself two different colors of Wollmeise Twin to make the Applesauce shirt by Noriko Ho, doubling up all over the place.

Here’s the pattern sample of the sweater, sleeveless as I intend to make it.

I’m going to make it from a beautiful speckled yellow and even more beautiful variegated purple / burgundy:

Shouldn’t be more than a few days of knitting, and I’m looking forward to getting it done!
