12 Months; 7 Projects

In the fall of 2019, when I was planning my knitting project for next year, I was looking for a Ravelry number that went with the boogie birthday sweater. : Drawing lines is fun and it's rare for me, I choose to make sweaters with patterned colors or go as close to them as possible. I visited Romni Wools in December and purchased yarn for three projects, one of which was Bug. I used Gray, Bright White, Dark, Fast Red - Turtle Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash . All colors match perfectly except green, which is a little lighter than the green-gray pattern but goes well with other colors. The 220 Superwash is a wool yarn compared to aran which indicates the design but the design can be improved with a half-sized needle required for the design, in this case instead of 5 mm by 4.5 mm.






And here is the finished product. He was a fairly simple carpenter - I finished it in two weeks. I changed a design that is to work the bottom and tie the cuffs instead of creating a dark gray pattern. It saved me money because I was able to complete this project with just one gray thread (which I could pay back for a gray thread that I bought for a store credit), I also had a less dark blue thread. I made a mistake in the line but I don't care, it looks just as beautiful as mine. I am satisfied with the result: Classic և Smart.






He didn't care much about clothes when he was a prom, so I bought a few dollars worth of things from his store to play with. She loves to read, she likes non-fiction, she's interested in science, so I bought her a National Geographic children's book, a toy kaleidoscope, and she got two new masks. I'm sure there's nothing bigger than the rah rah pillow in the picture I gave her on her fifth birthday, but my niece told me she was happy to receive the bug gift.

I have a total of 160 grams of yarn that I bought after completing this project.






The planning for this project started when I decided to wear a cotton sweater with olive khaki summer pants and shorts. I like the idea of ​​a classic Breton striped sweater in olive green contrast color so I thought I would do it that way.







I was looking for a striped sweater pattern to go with Ravelry. I chose Nothing But Stripes, an attractive modern version of a Breton striped sweater made by MTD that looks great in all the model photos I've seen. I went to the Romney Uls store in Toronto to buy the right yarn - I was glad to find the yarn I was looking for at an affordable price in the Romney Discount Basement. It seems to be listed in Ravelry or Schachenmayr, but very well.







And here’s the result combined with the khaki skirt I made a few years ago. The olive green khaki pants and shorts I have are darker in color, they look better with a sweater, but I can't wear them in my tailor-made form.

The sweater I was supposed to make in less than three weeks ran out of nine reasons, and that was my stupidity. At first I think German 38 equals 38 inches. Apparently that wasn't the case - I was deep in my chest before I knew it. I had to tear everything down and start with size 42. Then, when I was almost finished with the leopard, I realized that the sweater was going to be too long, I had to count the lines. I almost had to go back to the beginning when I started the linear pattern of two rows of olives instead of one.

At this point I realized that I could not buy enough yarn to make it bigger. I returned to Romney Ulce where I bought two extra 50 grams of olive oil and an extra 50 grams of roll jade. Rows

Then, as I was about to finish the first hand, I realized that it would be too small for Z row / 8 olive row »), thus glue.

On the other hand, as soon as I started working on the first one, I realized that I had made a mistake in improving the yoke. It was too small for the size of the regularity map. The extra thumbs that I did made the yoke too long and the body too short, making the yoke uncomfortable. At first I couldn't think of tearing off almost all the sweaters, I thought I could live with it, but once I finished the first sleeve I tried the sweater, I realized I couldn't. I tore the thread, tore the body again under the yoke and weaved it again. I got it right this time. Can you imagine how much extra work I had to do when it came time to finish the sweater but I did it?

I think I'm basically knitting this sweater with three folds. Fortunately, after all this, I really like sweaters.

And I have only 40 grams of yarn left for each color, so I bought the right amount of yarn for my sweater. Since this project is made with new yarn, it means saving 80 grams.
