Thank you! I just wore it the other day, it's one of my favorite sweaters!

Oh gosh, I have that problem too. Sometimes MY Math is complete fiction, unfortunately! Thanks for the support!

Thanks! I'm hoping the next version is the winner 😆

Knitting log: It is day 2,143 of trying to design a cabled pullover and I am on version no. 8,622. Once again I am having to rip out and start over because I switched from a textured stitch to stockinette on a whim, rather than trusting THE MATH. Sigh.

Now that I think about it, I frogged and frogged and frogged before I started designing, so you're probably right...it's not limited to designers!

Thanks! It's gonna be a while 😆 But I'll be sure to post on here when it's done!

It's all part of the process. Especially if you're the designer. Remind me why I want to be the designer again? 😂 All designers do is frog and frog and frog...

Picture of small dog, knitting swatch and project bag, and an iced coffee on a bench.

Doing some sweater swatching at the park today with this little guy (who refused to look at the camera.) Just a hint of fall in the air...perfect!

Aww, thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! And no worries, I know what it's like to have too many projects in the works!

Size range for Alexey's Sweater pattern.

Pattern Test Call! My nerdy sweater is finally ready! Named in honor of Alexey Pajitnov, the inventor of the game Tetris, this sweater blends fair-isle colorwork with interlocking geometric shapes. Test will be on Ravelry; DM for more info!

Thank you so much!

OMG! You have a scruffy pup too! So cute!

Thanks! She's a good girl

Thanks! I'm happy I actually got her to look at the camera for once!

K everyone, rate my fit. Yoke too deep? Enough neck shaping? Right amount of ease?? Maybe I need to find a different model. 😆 Test call (and pics with a more appropriately proportioned model) coming really really soon!

New puppy and a newly finished knit pullover!

Yup, I guess that's all we can do!

Gosh, I wish I had noticed it that quickly!

Great perspective! I need to remember that next time I screw up my project 😆

Thanks for the sympathy!!

Just some late summer loveliness. ❤️

It is what it is!

It was juuuuuust noticeable enough that it would have driven me crazy!

That's exactly what happened! Finished sleeve one, forgot to switch back to the larger needle for sleeve two. Sigh.

I knit the last half of my sleeve on the wrong needle size 😭 But we all do this sort of thing on the regular, right? Right?! (Please don't tell me I'm the only one!)

#frogging #knittingcommunity #sweaterdesign #yarnlove #knitting #strikke #knitsky

Yes!

Ha! Don't tempt me, I might add them!

Almost done! Who would've thought that designing a hand knit fingering-weight colorwork sweater would take so long? 😂

Test call for this nerdy pullover is coming soon.

Also...has anyone figured out the design theme yet? 🎮 😉
