how many yarn ends can one sweater have?

Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

I’ve been avoiding weaving in the ends of this sweater for years.

And it turns out I’ve been avoiding it for good reason – it’s the sweater with ends that never end, which is one of the larger downsides to knitting intense colorwork.

I’ve been weaving in a handful of ends here and there, because I think if I tried to weave them all in at once I would hate this sweater halfway through. That seems to be working (slowly) but consistently, and hopefully the ends will end eventually.

weaving in many ends, sewing together many yards, and editing many, many words

Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

Picking away at projects one end at a time, one stitch at a time, and one word at a time.

I’m continuing to work my way through weaving in the ends of a sweater with a million ends. And I spent most of yesterday sewing 7 yards of a bright red silk for a theater project. While carving out times to edit many words about knitted shawl shaping.

weaving in ends, and a colorful to-do list

Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

Rather than casting on for a new knitting project this week, I picked up an old, old, old knitting project that just needs a TON of ends woven in. I figure if I weave in a couple ends every evening, the sweater will get done faster than if I shove it in a bag at the back of my closet for another year or two.

And the edits for Shawl Geometry Book 3 continue. But I now have a brightly color to-do list for the project.
