I'm knitting a sweater for my younger brother as a gift. This gift has been in the works now for several years but now it is very close to being done! I just need to knit the turtleneck ribbing, sew the holes in the armpits, bind things off and soak it - then it can finally be handed over.

Sidenote: my brother originally wanted to pay for the yarn but I refused because I didn't want to feel pressure in finishing it in any specific time frame - which was a wise move.

The pattern is Redd Barna Unisex Jumper by Arne&Carlos. The original pattern doesn't have the turtleneck, that is a modification done based on my brother's wishes.

The pattern for Kanarie is not quite ready to put the call for testing out. But, I can show you how the schematic will look! 😃

After blocking, I had some gauge issues with my (air dried) sweater. So, I re-wet it, and gave it a trip in the dryer. The fit is now much better in the shoulders!

The ends are woven in! 😃

Let me show you a detail of my Kanarie sweater, while still on the blocking mats. Isn’t it pretty? 😊

In this picture, you can see my Kanarie sweater blocking! And I'm happy to tell you, that the fabric indeed grew a bit in the width, and shrunk a little in length 😊

Here a picture of me wearing my (unblocked) sweater. I’m a tad larger than the mannequin, so I really hope that with some washing the fabric will shorten and widen a bit. That’s what the swatch did, and the numbers in the pattern are based on 😃

The knitting on this project is finished! Here a picture of it on my mannequin! I'll show you a picture of me wearing it, soon 😉

The first cuff is done. Now to knit the next one, after that I can wash the sweater and determine whether the fit of the body is as intended….

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

Here, you can see where I decreased the sleeve stitches for the cuff, onward to the cuff itself! 😃

#FlashbackThursday When knitting garments top-down, there often is a point where stitches are CO at the underarm. In this tutorial I show 2 ways to do this! 😃

In the this picture, this sleeve has been knit to its intended length. Time to switch to the other one, before knitting the decreases and cuffs on both! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

The second sleeve has also used up it's first ball of yarn completely! This means that I'm almost ready to start the cuffs 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

I decided not to work any tapering in the sleeves after all. And I finished the first skein of yarn! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

This other sleeve now also has some more length. Looking at it, I'm wondering if I should introduce some tapering from round 60 onward, before doing the big decrease just before the cuffs. What do you think? 🤔

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

With this project, I've steadily been working on those sleeves. I worked this sleeve to 45 rounds, so now it's time to switch to the other one! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

I just love how puffy these sleeves are! 😊

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

As you can see in this picture, the short row part of the second sleeve of Kanarie is now also done. So now it's a matter of knitting in the round until both sleeves are of sufficient length to start the cuffs! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

I've also started the short rows on the other armhole. I figured it would be best to get those out of the way before I get started on the length of those sleeves! 😄

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

I thought I'd put Kanarie on my mannequin to show you how the top of the shoulder looks. I really like it! 😊

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

My grading spreadsheet has been reworked, and I worked out the correct numbers for the stitches to be picked up, the puff sleeve increases, and the short rows for Kanarie 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

I finished the ribbing! Now onwards to the puffed sleeves 😄

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

My La Rentree sweater is finished! I still have to wash it, so it's a tad wrinkly, but I'm very happy with it 😃

#Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather

As you can see in the picture, the bottom ribbing on Kanarie has started! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

The end of knitting this textured patterning is in sight. So I should really start working out my pattern for the puffed sleeves 😄

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

There is only one more increase round to go, and than I can start the ribbing. Do you see how lovely those increases and decreases look at the sides of the garment?

Will 2026 be the year that I (finally!) finish this sweater? 😆

Ok, results are not bad but not great either. The thin lines didn't come out as tidy as I had hoped. I'll make a new version of the panel without them.

It's becoming too dark to see the difference between the lighter shades so this is where I'll leave it for today. Cannot wait to see it off the needles.
