Banging Out a Sweater!

This sweater is moving right along! The torso is finished, and I just picked up for the first sleeve. I did not knit the bobbles (berries) on the yoke because that would have meant carrying along a third yarn, sometimes for 1 bobble every 20 or so stitches. So I’m going to go back and crochet or stitch those on later. But for right now, I think it is looking OK! Hopefully the sleeves will go quickly too 🙂
How are your WIPs going, crafty or not?
Beautiful!! I love the color arrangement in the yoke.

I think it looks great as-is, without the bobbles! Then again, I am almost never a fan of bobbles in theory. I have to actually see them on a project before I approve of them. 😉

LOL! I’m not sure about them – maybe will add on a few and see how I feel about them then 🙂

LOL! I guess that’s one benefit to adding them later.

I was out of town and out of current projects, so I picked up a linen top I’ve been playing with for the past two (?) years and took that with me. Maybe I’ll finish it this year? It’s basically 2 rectangles, oversized and swingy. Except I started it in the round and have just now split for front and back.

Thank you! I started with what I wanted for the main color, then picked the background color to be similar but lighter color. I was a little limited by the available colors of the yarn, but decided on keeping to the primary colors, so red and yellow for the pattern.
