sweaters, shawls, and jeans

Each Wednesday I post little snippets about the projects I’m working on.
You can see all of the Wednesday posts here.

So I didn’t manage to completely finish two sweaters this week, which was my very relaxed “goal” from last week, but I did make a lot of progress.

If you follow my on instagram, you saw the massive pile of ends that I had to weave in on my Versio sweater, as well as my experiments with different colors of cording for the hems.

I ended up going with yellow and blue cording, now the sweater just needs to be washed, blocked, photographed, and worn. Yay!

My (hopefully perfect) transitional sweater has sleeves (!) and I have the zipper.

So now it’s just another pile of ends to weave in, before I can wash it, block it, insert the zipper and wear it!!!

I also started super basic black pullover out of a lace weight. It’s a nightmare to knit, but I know that I’ll get an amazing amount of wear out of it. So for now, I’m just trusting the process.

My shawl is about a repeat and a half away from being done!

And I ripped out some of the seams of my experimental jeans so that I could futz with the fit of the pattern. Sad face. 

I want jeans like there’s no tomorrow, but right now sweater knitting is coming first. I know that with tights and socks, I can wear my skirts for a couple more months without any problems, but I know that if I don’t get some sweaters done I’m going to hate myself in a week or two. Damn it self-made wardrobe! 🙂
