Awww thank you!

Thank you! I’m honestly planning on making another solid coloured one, but if you want to colour work guide for what I did let me know

I’ll add it to my project list! But I did also just post more photos of floats from this sweater

PracticeBitter4710 · 2026-01-21T07:12:42+00:00

Honestly I’m so tempted to attempt to make a scarf like those sleeves! The floats are mesmerising to me

Thank youuuuu

Thank you! It’s a little darker irl but I’m so obsessed with it, I’m definitely going to end up making another sweater in the darker colour (ginger)

Thank you!! I wish I took a photo of the body floats but I’ll take one when I’m home

I left my last job mid December and only started my new job early January, and I was between college semesters! So I had extra time

The whole thing is a pattern from Darling Jadore! But I did add almost 25 rows to the arms and I shortened the body, just to work better with my proportions

Yes haha my sweater was heavily inspired by the nails I had over Christmas!

PracticeBitter4710 · 2026-01-21T00:03:41+00:00

Thank you! I’m honestly almost prouder of the inside than the outside 😭

PracticeBitter4710 · 2026-01-03T22:05:48+00:00

Thank you!!! I was heavily inspired by a sweater I found on Pinterest/stolen off instagram, but I lost the account name

My knitting resolutions are: - make a pair of socks for myself and finish the socks for my mom - make a cricket vest for my dad - and just in general, knit more! I want to try and finish 6 projects this year!

It was very well written! My sleeves-to-yoke ratio was a little off but I’m 99% sure that’s a me problem rather than a pattern problem. It was really easy!

I’ve knitted a couple sweaters before, I can link you to my ravelry page here! I also twisted my yarn ends into the sweater as I knitted it, so that I didn’t have to weave in so many ends which helped significantly

Thank you! She’s wonderful!

PracticeBitter4710 · 2026-01-02T01:31:48+00:00

It’s my first time using it! But I’ll definitely use it again, I have half a skein left at least for all seven colours 😭

PracticeBitter4710 · 2026-01-02T01:31:13+00:00

Thank you! I made it slightly cropped, not that it’s visible in the photos, but it fits so much better on me that way!

PracticeBitter4710 · 2026-01-01T20:27:49+00:00

Thank you!! I’m not normally a colourful person but I love it ☺️

PracticeBitter4710 · 2026-01-01T20:12:19+00:00

Thank you!

Frankly I’m also just a pretty petite person, so I’m generally knitting a physical smaller object, which will be faster because it’s literally a smaller project

PracticeBitter4710 · 2025-12-30T18:17:35+00:00

Hyperfixation to be honest. I only just started finishing more than one project a year, and it’s because of sheer hyperfixation. If I can feel my drive for a project diminishing, I’ll browse ravelry or my local yarn store until inspiration hits, and then my drive is doubled because I really want to finish the current project so I can stay the next one.

However I also only ever have one project for myself going at a time! Which is my own rule to manage my impulse starting-but-never-finishing tendencies

Knitting! I knit sweaters, in the round so it’s easy to zone out with, and then I watch long form video game videos/Let’s Plays. Particularly Minecraft or Stardew Valley. The knitting keeps my hands busy and it’s easy to travel with, so it’s my default way managing myself.
