@Empricorn Work In Progress!

@stevestevesteve Wow that is really a gorgeous sweater!

@kurobita I am thinking of making these for our holiday tree, and if it goes well they might be a gift for someone next year https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz3oGGWL9d-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

@thegiddystitcher As far as I have committed right now I am doing zero gift knitting and knitting things only for myself. At least until January.

@just_chill @thegiddystitcher @discworld Omg this is exactly what I was looking for @Pufferfish

@thegiddystitcher I used alpaca once and the biggest challenge for me was that they don’t have the same elasticity as wool so the didn’t stretch and then snap back the way I would have wanted. Probably should not have done a stranded color pattern with alpaca. Can’t tell you too much about how well they wore because I didn’t wear them much even though they were beautiful.

@thegiddystitcher Didn’t join the lemmy version (yet), just responded to the post appearing over here!

@thegiddystitcher Super chunky definitely makes a sweater super fast! My question will be how you like the fit and look once it’s completed …

@Knitwear It could be a great learning experience if you are open to some steps forward and backwards along the way. I went directly to socks which are smaller but also complex in their own way. So it’s all up to what you feel like doing!
