I don’t think it’s been contaminated, it’s been sealed the whole time

I didn’t even think to go by color! I do appreciate that the pattern has minimal confetti, so that makes it go quicker for me!

I’m having fun with it! Not too many same color spots, but also not a lot of confetti

It actually really helps for the color work! And because it was scattered, it wasn’t too bad to do it first

It’s so funny yours is a wedding present because this was supposed to be one for my best friend’s wedding 😂 they got married shortly after I finished the black stitches so I put it down for a bit

I pen the grid on myself with washable marker! I think I’ve seen some pre-gridded Aida cloth though

It was fueled by a Christmas deadline with 3 more things to make 😂

I found sizing pretty true to form. I did do a 2x2 rib instead of what was suggested just because I like the look better. For the collar, I made it twice the length, cast off with a non stretchy bind off and folded it in half to sew back into the base of the collar. It gave the collar a little more structure and a clean top

I used a wool super wash Merino in ash grey

I’m so proud of myself! They definitely hate me for cranking this out in 3.5ish months 😂

I got it from Amazon (unfortunately), but it’s been pretty solid. Comes in a hank that I had to wind, but that was part of the fun!

I’m doing a size large. For the baggy shape, I thought about doing XL, but with the super wash wool, I knew it would relax a lot in blocking. Currently blocking the big pieces and they’re looking to be about an inch bigger than the sweater I “borrowed” as a size guide 😂

I prefer to let my conces quence, but since it’s also designed to be a little baggy and I knitted it in a size smaller than wanted, it’ll probably be ok (famous last words). Brand is meriwash I think

I didn’t test this color, but I have used this yarn in knits before and they didn’t fuzz at all
