  1. 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.

  3. 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!

  5. 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 😃

  7. 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? 🤔

  9. 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! 😃

  11. 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! 😄

  13. 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 😃
