A while back I made a post about trying to finish all my yarn so I got three different projects going and basically ran out. Then I got the idea of a gift for my mother for Christmas so I had to do a huge yarn restock. Some of the yarn balls I got are massive :D
My hand for scale:
The stitch I'm using for the sweater is called linen stitch but it can also be called moss, granite or woven (confusing!)
I'm using a dark grey with a little off white tweedy accent, here it is without sleeves or a collar...
I started one sleeve which has a ribbed cuff then a nice big pouf increase:
Here is a closeup of the stitch, I think it looks really neat, especially when alternating colors (here I did two rows grey, 2 white, repeating):
I also started making this hooded sweater/poncho thing, currently undecided. The Christmas gift is taking precedence right now so it's on the back burner, this is made of chunky yarn so it should be pretty cozy for winter.
I added a few more rows on this raglan sweater and divided it for the sleeves but I am unsure if it may be a bit to tight in the underarm so I may frog back a few rows to rectify that:
My poor pouf, what started this all LOL. Once I am done all these projects it will get the leftover bits of yarn and will hopefully be done with!
I also bought this nice military green/olive yarn to possibly make another sweater/cardigan or something. It's calling me but I need to have a bit of discipline and finish all this stuff first :)

You are diligent!
Julia, you who are old in the farm, has it been this low on HIVE before. It's sad that not many people make records? I've been painting a lot lately. You want as many people as possible to see what I have painted. It's probably like that with everyone else who wants to post. Or how?
Unfortunately when crypto crashes it seems to get slower here, then when it goes back up everyone returns 😒
I love your creativity
Nice stitching
Thanks I see you're a cobbler, that's so cool! there are very few here now, too much fast fashion and cheap shoes that aren't worth repairing anymore and go in the trash it's kind of sad...
Yes
I am a professional shoecobbler.
And I always admire creative content which I also love creativity
I love it!!! It looks beautiful on you and it's super warm!
