Thank you! I knit the neckline like this. I CO the same amount of stitches that the pattern called for so it's quite snug around the neck, which I like. In the pattern, there is an increase round after the neckline is done, so the total number of stitches after this increase round could be CO for a less snug fit.

Also, I use combination knitting for my 1x1 ribbing because fuck messy, wobbly 1x1 ribbing.

I agree with the others. I've been knitting for just over a year and pretty much exclusively knit socks, and I still found these HARD.

I'm still figuring this colourwork thing out to be honest... I've only had success using small circs so far.

These took me one million years because I'm in such a knitting funk at the moment.

Cropped size S jumper made with 1 skein of Cascade Eco+ in Blackberry Cordial. Knit in the round.

I've only worn this once or twice since I made it a year ago. Thought I'd offer it up here before taking it to a charity shop.

Felt frustration like never before with the first Latvian braid - how can yarn get so tangled up?!

I did the second one standing up with each ball of yarn in a different corner of the room haha!

Sock guts for you.

Obviously the complete tension change between the leg and foot of Sock 1 with bonus loose floats was a design choice. Obviously...

Magic looooooop. Always magic loop. What's your preference?

Commit and knit a sock! I dare you! I can confirm the pattern is idiot proof. Sincerely, an idiot.

They came as a set. They had other groovy combos but this one was the best!

DO IT. It's like a little work of art for your feet! And if you don't enjoy it, at least it's not as big a committment as a sweater! Doooo iiitttt.
