I’ve made sweaters before, but since November I’ve been pretty consistently on a knit-all-the-sweaters kick, and I thought I’d collect them all here.

Zweig

A white woman wearing a brown sweater with a pink lace yoke.

This one started when I bought a skein of Farmers Daughters Fibers yarn to use as a contrast color and realized I had the perfect main color from Fidalgo Artisan Yarns already in my stash. I’ve written about this one many times before, so I’ll just let the picture speak for itself.

Weekender

A white woman wearing a purple-pink speckled sweater.

This was my Christmas-vacation knit: I got the entire body done while visiting my parents, and finished up the sleeves when I got home. I love the exposed seam, the combination of reverse stockinette + regular stockinette, and the way the yarn colors knit up.

Dreyma

A white woman wearing a green cardigan with a colorwork yoke.

This has been in the works for a while — I love the pattern and bought the yarn for this in Iceland in September, but knew I couldn’t make a pullover out of Léttlopi and wear it comfortably in Seattle, so I decided to convert it to a cardigan. It is surprisingly satisfying to knit a whole thing in the round (take that, purling!) but still have it be a cardigan at the end of things. I can definitely say I’m hooked.

Rose

A white woman wearing a cardigan that fades from dark grey at the arms to light speckled grey on the buttonband.

This is the most interestingly constructed sweater that I’ve ever made, and likely the most satisfying. I am in love with everything about it — the yarn, the pattern, the fade — and I’ve worn it almost every day since I finished it.

In the works

I started knitting a Caitlin over the weekend using some amazing colors from Valkyrie Fibers’ Stone Lore series. I also have plans for Nordiska using some amazing yarn from Ocean By The Sea as soon as I swatch up some contrast colors to make a final decision, and I bought some (more) House of A La Mode yarn to make a Shifty Sweater.
