What? it is not already New Year, or it passed long time ago?... Oh, but there WAS new year, and of course I have knitted a New Year's Good Luck Sweater, and in this case, I even concentrated on it, meaning, I have not knitted on other stuff (except for socks in the car) until it was done... But, as with other stuff, we did not get around to shot photos of it, until late in the fall.
But now, the new New year is getting crazy close, and I need to start thinking of what it should be for 2025, however, I think, the best time to post it is just here now.
I dug through my old phone-pictures (I do download them and delete them from my phone every few months), trying to find in progress pictures:
Which proove two things... I did knit them as a travel-knit, on trains...
And that it was finished on april first. The sweater I've finally knitted ... I kind of designed it, and did so on the go, as I was knitting it.
Once again, stashbusting, using up odd bits of sockyarns was decidedly going to be a design feature, using up less than full balls of sockyarns in shades of red and gray. I selected a few of both from my boxes, put both color in the order of getting darker and darger, the red staring from a light, almost pinkish-orangey red, and going to a dark bordeay, the gray is starting from a light gray going to a dark one. the pattern I selected was decidedly very simple.
Now the shape... I like cardigans, I like top-down structures, and the idea of doing a round yoke with a V neck interested me for years now. I love V necks, I prefer that shape, but you just don't see them with round yokes, and probably there is a fairly good reason for it.
Mine is not perfect either. My hair covers it up, but the line from the shoulder to the V neck is not smooth, there is a break or turn in it, like I have a kind of standing collar. Maybe I will have to change the point from where I start to increase. For now, I have other (knitting) plans, but I might re-visit this construction in the future.
Otherwise, I like the colorchanges, I had people who would not believe me when I said it is NOT one yarn painted for one long color-repeat, which I think, I can account for as a compliment.
Now, onto figuring out, what to knit this next new year and boy, I am having THOUGHTS, but they will be the topic for another post.
Yarns: various sock-yarns, including at least four different shades of DROPS Fabel.
Needles: Knit Pro, 3.00 and 3,5 mm.
