Wear the wild sweater is done!



A few weeks back I felt it was time for a level-up in my knitting. Squidneyknits told me I could easily make a sweater and she convinced me!

I chose the Wear the wild things are from Tiny Owl Knits. Of course it would be one of her patterns to be my first... to do the honors so to speak ....

I made it in Drops Eskimo in a deer brown color. I love that yarn. It knits up like a storm isn't too darn expensive and feels great.

The knitting went very fast, the only hitch I encountered was getting the arms the same. When I was whining about it to my mom she told me she would do the arms two at the time: Two skeins, two arms, one needle and simply do the same row twice. That way they should come out exactly the same! So clever that mommy of mine!

Sewing everything up was a challenge but I enjoyed doing it! Now I only have to felt up the crown, but not today, maybe the day after tomorrow.


The sweater makes me feel like frolicking and running around and simply having fun!


BTW: the Haruni made 35 euros in the auction! Nice!
