Scary Sweater Sunday!

quiteayarnblog

Earlier this week I finally finished my Mostly Ghostly sweater, which was started around this time last year and put on hold for quite a while.

The pattern is Fall Favorites Collection by Meghan Regan and is the Mostly Ghostly pattern option. I have made this sweater 3 other times so far, twice for myself and once for my Mom. So if it looks kind of familiar, that is why.

I normally steek it and make it a cardigan, as I do wear cardigans more often. However, this time I decided to try it as a pullover. It fits really well and is very comfortable! My only modifications this time were adding the pattern band to the bottom and shortening the sleeves. I always shove long sleeves up to my elbows anyway, unless it’s really cold, so that just made sense.

The main yarn is Berroco Fiora, the orange is Knit Circus Greatest of Ease DK in the Safety Dance colorway, and Cascade 22 Sport in Jasmine. I used a combination of yarns for the ghosts, a sparkly white mohair, blue silk laceweight, and a fingering weight white with blue speckles. Those were mostly leftovers, so not sure of the brands. However, they worked together pretty well to get the ghostly effect I wanted.

It feels good to have this off the needles!

What are you working on and how is it going?

  5. That turned out really cute! I love the subtle color shifts in the ghosts.

    I’m knitting (or playing at knitting) another half-pi pooling shawl. I’ve started 3 color combos, but I’m not really committed to any of them. Just waiting for more yarn in the mail to start a new design project.

    And I’m prepping for teaching classes, too. Everything is knit related right now, even when I’m not knitting.
