Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

After finishing up the Cider Mills sweater I really felt like doing another. I had bought yarn and the pattern for this one. This is a Twist Collective pattern and a bit complicated reading - but so far it is going okay. Also the pattern calls for Rowan tweed but I decided to use a silk base. I think it might give it a dresser look.

Project Details: Started on February 15. Finished February 21. Really fast when you are on bed rest. I changed up the cuffs on the sleeves and the bottom. I also only used 3 colors. The yarn is a dk called Mirasol Qina (alpaca & bamboo). I used over 400 yards for this 12 month sweater on size 6 needles. I also didn't put a button at the tip top of the neck because a) I only had 3 buttons like these and b) I hate stuff around my neck and figure the kid might be the same way.

Yep. Another one on the needles. This is my first bed rest project - which is proving to be a little harder than I thought because of the pattern being poorly written. I'll post my findings on it once I finish up.

Project Details: Started on January 26th and finished today February 9th. Not a super long knit. I used Louisa Harding Kashmir DK. It took 446 yards and I used size 6 needles. I got these great little buttons at a local fabric shop. Are you wondering how many baby sweaters I'm going to make? So am I!

I'm making slow progress on this project. Another baby sweater (called Haiku). I've done this pattern before and enjoyed it. My goal is to have the flat main piece done this weekend! Wish me luck.
