I'm getting really excited about knitting right now. I bought the Seaton collection at a thrift store and I really want to make one of their sweaters. I'll have to learn intarsia, which I'm hoping is easy because I'm way too used to stranded colorwork. I'm really excited about the tapestry sweaters from the Seaton collection and I think there are a few tapestry sweaters in the Susan Duckworth book I bought too. I am so excited to start knitting these, I have a ton of various shades of beige yarn so I need to dye some once I get home from school, and hopefully I can start knitting soon. I really need to get more products ready for the market I'm selling at in November. I'm so excited about these patterns

I'm struggling to come up with a good colorwork sweater idea, and I'm hoping someone can help me. I want to make something fairly complicated with only two colors preferably, and I might be able to make a chart if someone has a good idea. Also any cool old knitting or crochet chart would be helpful. I just need some inspiration from someone

Thanks!

Snail hat I made yesterday at work

It's made from thrifted wool that I dyed, a chart from Pinterest, and I just freehanded the shape

The Joan of Arc sweater is complete! Made entirely out of secondhand acrylic yarn. Started April 22nd, finished July 11th.

Okay I dyed some of the wool! I used vinegar and food dye, which worked really well! I'm going to knit a swatch before I knit a whole sweater so I can make sure it doesn't bleed. I really like the colors I got!

Ordered 20 pounds of wool rug yarn to use in knitting sweaters!! I'm planning to dye some of it to use for color work (as I love to do) and I'll be selling most of the sweaters I make with this yarn. I'm very excited about it!

Just cast on a new sweater, trying a picot edge for the first time because it's so cute. I'm going to be using another le filet ancien chart for this sweater, I've decided that's my favorite thing to do. It's going to be Joan of Arc themed and I'm really excited. Hopefully I'll get into a fashion show later this year and this sweater can be displayed. If not or afterwards I'll probably sell it at a craft market. It's the first time I'm knitting with such a thin yarn, sport weight I think (it's thrifted and didn't have labels.) I'm really excited to see how it turns out, and hopefully you'll be seeing the finished project soon.

Just finished today :) for my amazing boyfriend

I started a new sweater on Monday, the body is halfway done, I'm so excited to show you! The yarn is Unger fluffy (it's an acrylic yarn), I'm pretty sure it's been discontinued, but you can find it on eBay and such. I got a ton of it at a yard sale and I've knit three sweaters with it so far, this is my fourth. I really love the colors and how it feels, it's great to knit with

I worked on this pair of hand warmers with secondhand wool yarn until I realized I didn't have enough to make a whole pair. I'll have to figure out what to do with the unraveled yarn, does anyone have any suggestions? It's just enough to make 1 1/2 pair of hand warmers

The pattern is soaring heart mitts by Nicola Blechschmidt in case anyone wants to make a pair
