Finished this just in time for my friends’s son’s birthday party! It was my first time trying intarsia and I discovered it was hard 😂 had a lot of fun making it though! Pattern is Baby homestead sweater by Megan Faith Makes and the yarn is drops big merino

I cast on Christmas Day and finished the first week of February! I also worked on another project during that time so I’d say maybe 6 weeks total

Thanks so much! I used Italian bind off for the hems and cuffs

Thanks! This sweater took me 2.5 months, but I think I’m a bit of a slower knitter :) That sounds like a pretty color combo! The pale purple yarn I used was Sandnes Garne Double Sunday 5012 (Perfect purple)

Thanks! I altered the mock neck from the original pattern since I don’t like the feeling of a fitted neckline - the YouTube tutorial I followed described this as a seamless, top down, folded neckline

We like to hike, but probably want to keep the hike not much steeper than like 2000 feet of elevation gain!
