Oooh colour change coming in
Thank you. I’m wimping out and going to go for the suggested weight and in totally different colours and saving my dream wool for another pattern.
I never make anything (for myself) in blues so thought I’d go for a change. Think I’ll do these…
Oh my god!! I would be very interested in detailed updates on this
I’ll try to do a full process documentary I’m really nervous about it!
Up to the colour changes, for which I’m now following a fair isle pattern and minding the dominant colour etc the best I can
Hoping to finish it this weekend!
PS for any other fans of self striping yarn, this account is great!
I’m in love with this account
Really want to make this exact thing but it turns out that non-woollen self-striping yarn is hard to find and mostly boring colours

This has given me lots of ideas for using gradient yarn in a fairisle jumper
Think I’m going to get some of this as well
Aw that looks amazing I really enjoy doing the white contrast colour, but I’m sure it could work with lots of different ones!
I’ve finished it!! I don’t remember if I really told you about it here but after having almost finished it (like, almost up to the neck) I had to start all over again because of some stupid mistakes I’d been making (in addition to my first attempt at white block hearts not working out, as I know I did post about). So it was slower going in round two, but once I started the fair isle bit I could hardly put it down and I am VERY proud of this. Now for the boring part, to deal with all those loose ends before giving it a wash/block!
I showed it to the little boy who it’s for on facetime the other day (before joining up the arms etc) and his face was pretty much just this emoji: Can’t wait to give the finished sweater to him.
That is so cute, I would definitely be if I saw I was getting that
I found the loveliest dye I wanted to dye my baby blanket but I’m pretty sure it’s acrylic not wool and apparently can’t be dyed
This is amazing!
Oh nooooeessss
