Hello all! I'm new here from reddit. Yesterday I finished this sweater vest called the Crimson Trace sweater vest - free pattern download from Ravelry. Made in size J. Using circular needles in size 2 and size 0.
The yarns for this are all fingering weight yarn. Most yarns are 100% wool, but some are sock wool (so has a percentage up to 15% of nylon). One yarn used very sparingly was 100% cotton. Some of the 100% wool yarns were hand dyed by me using Kool-Aid, but the others were dyed by a small batch dyer in the community I used to live in. I can't even recall the colors because I had been gathering yarns for over a year before finally casting on in January or February this year.
I worked on and off, sometimes working on other projects in between, but including the time for two frogged sections, this project took me approx 183.75 hours to complete. I tried to add another photo to this comment with a close-up of the fair isle patterning.
(If you recognize this from my reddit post yesterday, say hi to me! I'm hoping to find a similar sense of community here on kbin!)
@HandsHurtLoL I did see your post on Reddit and this is a very pretty FO :) just like you, I am hoping to find my "old" sense of community! My username there was/still is CharmiePK. I haven't used Reddit this week yet and I am happy to find my mateys over here <3
