Night Nook Sweater pattern by Stephen West This graphic top-down seamless pullover requires two colors of worsted weight wool. The clever construction begins with a hemmed collar in twisted ribbing, followed by two-color brioche saddle shoulde...

It’s hard to tell from that angle, but could it be a Night Nook by Stephen West? www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

And the twists in the ribbing are lovely too

I invested in a yarn winder when I decided to frog a few neglected projects. That or a niddy-noddy. Both will have you whizzing through the unraveling and you have a nice cake or skein at the end.

I have also added a gusset on the side to accommodate bunions

Same. My big toe is significantly longer than the others so unless I fit the socks to them they wear out really quickly

Oh and I read a suggestion to first use a sticky lint roller, it lifts the fuzzies up so that they’re caught faster

I really like using a Lilly brush, but it only really works on wool

Use a crochet hook to hook them up and tack the top stitch in place with a bit of spare yarn. It will be a bit fiddly but well worth the effort for an obviously well loved jumper.

Yay, another knitter. Every row helps with muscle memory and you’ll be whizzing along before you know it.

Have you tried putting a white cloth on your knee? The contrast helps, and good lighting does too

Where are you located? That would help narrow the search to locally available sources

Giving this project a bit of a push - this farm is near where my family farmed and projects like this are so important.
If any of my yarn-friends can spare a few pounds it would be great to get it funded! 🧢 #crochet

A few years ago I made a Dr Who themed shawl for a friend’s sweepstake for charity. Am very happy with how it turned out.

For the β€œstars”:
1-2, In green knit one row, purl one row.
3 With white *slip 1 with yarn in back, knit 1* repeat
4 with white *slip 1 with yarn in front, knit 1* repeat

I would agree that the white stripes are added later as the yarn passes through the middle of the stitches

Mosaic Blanket SKEINS: Color A: 4 (6, 7) skeins of Purl Soho’s Worsted Twist; Color B: 6 (8, 10) skeins of Purl Soho’s Alpaca Pure SIZES: Baby (Crib, Throw) COLORS: Color A, Heirloom White + Color B, Super Pink Note...

After the first few rows this becomes nice and repetitive, but with enough interest to keep me engaged. I’m on my 2nd blanket and love it www.purlsoho.com/create/2015/...

A clear and relevant response, very much what I was thinking while watching the video myself. Thank you. However, I was rather distracted by that gorgeous hat! What’s the pattern?
