My Knitting Life

February to May

I bought these yarns (Malabrigo Ultimate Sock, 3 skeins in Whole Grain, and Louisa Harding Amitola, 2 skeins in Tick Tock) in December 2023 to make stranded yoke sweater. After my rough start to 2024, I decided to begin knitting this in mid February for Bang Out a Sweater. Clearly I didn’t finish by March 1 so I took my time finishing it in Me Made May.
I only bought one skein of the Amitola yarn, knew I was going to run out because of the pattern I chose (stranded knitting not only at the yoke, but also at the sleeve and hem bottoms), and went on a furious internet search for another ball. I don’t remember where I bought that second ball, but I am always happy that small LYSs keep their inventory up to date online.
It’s mid May, and not quite cold enough to wear this. But I will remember this sweater when autumn rolls around!
