Sorry in advance for the crappy photo quality and general rushed quality of my posts for this week. I'm currently on spring break and galavanting around with some of my family.
I've really been focusing on my Beatnik recently. This may mean that I am a glutton for punishment, ie. one sweater horribly failed, no problem, start working on two more.
I'm really enjoying this project a lot, even though it is working up very slowly. These are some serious cables here and I forgot how long it takes to get length worked up on a project like this. Pictured here is the back of the sweater (almost done) and part of the first sleeve, which I am working in seed stitch along with the pattern.
I have also been reminded how much I love knitting with Plymouth Yarn Worsted Merino Superwash. It has such a great texture to it and that lovely merino smell that I'm so fond of.
I'm definitely going to take my time on this project and savior it.
Ooh it looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Erin, it looks beautiful! I bet this will be such a joy to wear when it's done. I may have to look into getting that yarn if you like it so much. I wish my LYS sold more of your favorite yarns!
ReplyDeleteThis looks stunning already. I deffo need to cast on Beatnik too, this cable pattern is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see how you progress
That sweater is going to be so stretchy even though it's cabled all over. That Plymouth Merino Superwash can handle a beating too! I'm sure you and the sweater will be very happy together when you finish.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be seriously cute. I love that sweater. ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteLove those cables!
ReplyDeleteSpring break... The kids just had their winter break here ;) It's still a couple of months before we can call it spring here...
I love the cables, and the color of the sweater is fantastic! Great job, can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteIsn't spring break THE BEST?!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Spring Break- hope you find time for lots of knitting and all the things that bring you joy!
ReplyDeleteit's looking really nice! Can't wait to see it finished. I'm a chicken, I've not tried cables yet.
ReplyDeleteNot only have you cast on another sweater but one with all those cables, no less! You are amazing. I've never knit with Plymouth Yarn Worsted Merino -- thanks for the recommendation. Oh, and happy spring break knitting.
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked at the pattern on Ravelry my first thought was, "That looks hard!" You're so fearless when it comes to knitting. Hope you enjoy your spring break.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great. It looks so smoothy and warm with the cables and that yarn.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love you color choice.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your spring break!
Your sweater is going so well! The yarn is gorgeous, and, being a Norah Gaughan pattern, it must be magical to knit. Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, your sweater is looking amazing! I'm loving all those cables. Have a great spring break!
ReplyDeleteLove those cables...and the color is perfect. Just perfect. Take your time :-) We'll be here waiting for an update on this. Enjoy the break. Is during this time of the year that I wish I could go back to collage.
ReplyDeleteI tried a little bit of cables but haven't fully dived into a cabled project. That is next on the list of fearless knitting for me. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cables! Enjoy!
