I love that Annie was grooming herself as you talked about your knits. I think she thinks she’s the star of the show. Also, those cables look stunning! I just learned two by two rib and kinda messed it up so I think I’d kill cables in a bad way lol
Those cables are stunning! I can't wait to watch that sweater grow. What a bummer about your stego sweater. I hope you are able to get another skein of the main color soon.
I am all for adjusting goals halfway through. I've seen a lot of "Crocheting for 24 hours straight" videos floating around, and I don't want that type of grind in my fiber arts space. I appreciate the slow pace of making and being gentle with ourselves while trying to accomplish our goals. Anything else takes all of fun out of things and makes it stressful. Congratulations on your 4 finished objects, and I hope that when you get around to finishing the others, it's an enjoyable experience.
I use a small fan or place it under a ceiling fan to hasten the drying when I block a piece. I’ve also made two Moonset tees and it does feel like forever to get that body finished!
I love the colors on your sweater with the brown lace neckline. If you do a gauge swatch, you might get a sense of how dense the fabric will be. Maybe you can increase your needle size to get a lighter fabric for the body.
16:04 Annie is definitely ready for her close-up 😅 Regarding your Ripple crop, I think even if there's a line between the original and the "added in" ribbing, it shouldn't be an issue as it will just look like a deliberately knitted hem.
For the ripple top you can knit on a band of lace or a narrow band of garter similar to a button band. Personally I'd chose the lace band but that's just me
That is such a bummer about your Stego sweater! 😢 I definitely feel like it was an oversight on whoever put the kits together. If it’s by size they should include enough yarn for the given sizes or else they should have been very explicit about needing to purchase more yarn.
always looking forward to some coziness from you on Saturdays

It's not all that different once you get the hang of it! And she really does think she's the star 😆

😂 she certainly agrees with you

I love that Isaac Mizrahi yarn, I bought a couple bags from AC Moore too and made a great crochet sweater. It has held up well over the years.
It's good stuff!

My guess is 4
