If you didn’t already know it, I am addicted to knitting sweaters.
I recently finished knitting the “Portage” cardigan by Melissa Schaschwary. No photos yet, because I have to fix the pockets. I seamed them before blocking and now they look weird. C’est la vie. I can’t wait to show you the final product, though, because other than the pockets, it’s a glorious sweater!
I’m currently working on two additional sweaters: “White Pine” by Amy Christoffers and “Cozy Neighborhood” by Joji Locatelli. Both are gorgeous sweaters that I can’t wait to finish (and wear), especially Cozy because I used such pretty yarn. Here’s a sneak peak (I’m further along now):
I’m using Malabrigo Arroyo yarn in the color “Glitter”. The name is a bit confusing, because I’m not really sure how that corresponds to a colorway consisting of shades of brown. Either way it’s super pretty!
If you don’t think I’m crazy already, I’m itching to start another sweater: Demi by Kim Hargreaves. I’ve had the book in which it’s printed (Rowan Vintage Knits) for at least a few years, and I finally went ahead and bought the perfect yarn for this project: Plymouth Encore Tweed in the color “Grape Jam”.

Purple-y goodness, yes? I’m especially excited for this sweater, the number one reason being this yarn is machine wash AND dry. Scoreeeeeee.
So, what’s on your needles at the moment?
