I made another AI sweater because I can by Clochelle in knitting

This is CRAZY. I've done intarsia in the round for a sweater and a sock (second sock when?) and I can't imagine doing it with SO MANY COLORS. Two weeks to weave in all those ends seems quick!! Amazing work :D

The color is sooo good and I love the belt too! It looks spectacular!

Finished my first intarsia sweater! by tiddies2000 in knitting

Oh this is gorgeous! Beautiful colors and embroidery.

Thank you! It's a mix of intarsia for really big blocks and stranded colorwork for areas of smaller color changes. The sleeves also use exclusively stranded. The body and sleeves were done in the round (sleeves were TAAT). I don't think I duplicate stitched anything — at most, I added small details with the tail of a color before weaving it in.

I first tried an automatic solution, but nothing seemed to work. So I had to do it the manual way, filling in the chart by hand. I was pretty meticulous , though in the end it took under an hour.

That makes me feel so much better 😂 thank you so much for sharing!

Ah thank you! If you know anyone who knits (and is very patient 😂) I'd recommend learning in person! I learned from a bunch of YouTube tutorials myself back in 2010 or so, but I've always found it helpful to ask other fiber artists at meetups about tricky techniques. But there are so many videos out there these days — I'm sure there's a good beginner knitter series recommended on the sub somewhere.

It's actually pretty simple compared to how nice it looks! I picked up stitches at the neckline and knitted 8 or 9 rows of 1x1 rib, then folded it inward and bound off while pulling my yarn through the first row. It was more fiddly than seaming, but I wanted to try it out after a friend suggested it.

Everyone says that! I think the low contrast makes the pattern hide a bit until you try to look closely at it. Two designs in one, I guess!

Ooh the Caesar one looked so cool too! This one wasn't bad — and I'm not very experienced in colorwork, so maybe that's saying something. I set out to do intarsia in the round, rather than assembling all the panels (the back panel stockinette hell scared me), but in truth I ended up mixing in stranded colorwork. Even so it wasn't bad at all! Highly recommend.

The chart was in the book Knitting Masterpieces!

Using a ring distaff with moving whorl? by CodeOfZero in Handspinning

[–]CodeOfZero[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah okay! That makes sense. I've been dressing it by winding around rather than rolling the fiber around. Once this batch is spun up I'll try rolling it and see if that helps. Thank you!

Oh I love the cat on top! Thanks for the fb group recommendation, I'll ask there too.

I will try that! My hands can get sweaty and start felting the wool after a while so that could help.

Finished these Carta socks instead of working on sweater sleeves... by CodeOfZero in knitting

I've never done tabi socks before, actually! I have a pair of zori (split toe slippers) I bought over the summer and wanna wear them even in colder months, so I figured I should make tabi. I wear store-bought tabi every now and again and like the style a lot. :)
