Progress report on my Crowberry, aka the sweater I am * Banging Out.
It’s coming along OK! I did have a little setback with it initially. I didn’t really do a proper gauge swatch and did not get gauge. So I did a little mathing and decided to just do the next size up. A few inches in, I realized it seemed a little big. I got it off the needles, where it was all bunched up, and onto some scrap yarn. It was WAY big. So I ripped it back and started again. I’m well past the point I stopped at before, so that’s a good feeling. I don’t know that it will get done this month, but here’s hoping!
Have you participated in Bang Out a Sweater with MDK? If so, did you enjoy it and how did it go? Do tell!
Quite A Yarn 
Looks good! I’ve never set out to intentionally knit an adult-sized sweater in a month… but I did knit a short-sleeved sweater in extra super bulky yarn in about a week once! (For more normal sweaters, though, it takes me a couple of months at the fastest. It might be faster if I was a monogamous knitter.)

I haven’t tried it before either. Likewise – sweaters usually take longer, and I also like to have a few things in progress. For right now I’m sticking strictly to the sweater. That’s the only way I have a fighting chance 🙂

Thank you! Sometimes going back and redoing works out for the best 🙂

I did the very first BangOutASweater in 2016; it was Mary Jane Mucklestone’s Stopover. Mine was blue. I knit it in 8 days! And I liked it so much that I knit a red one the following year. I’ve always meant to knit a charcoal gray one with rainbow color pops on the yoke, but I may never get to it.
I knit mine with Lett Lopi at a loose gauge. What are you using for yours?

Very cool! Always nice to find a pattern you like enough to do more than once 🙂
I am also using Lettlopi, also at a loose gauge. I am knitting it on 10 1/2s, so it’s somewhat airy 🙂 It’s moving along really well!
