Get Pushed Challenge #608
My partner challenged me to post a photo that showcased some of my knitting.
Left side features a pair of socks knitted from yarn I received during a KnitTalk Swap in February. (See this photo: http://365project.org/randystreat/365/2024-02-11 )
Right side is a sweater I knit last year and didn't finish. I was disgusted that it wasn't fitting correctly so I put it into time out until I could figure out what to do with it. I just had to make the neckline not quite so deep, so there was a lot of knitting, trying on and ripping out until I got a neckline I was satisfied with. So my challenge really was to finish the sweater so i could take a photograph.
I like the socks but that sweater is a piece of art! I admire your patience with the ripping out and reknitting. I alos like the backgrounds you have chosen for both photos FAV
@corinnec Thank you Corinne. @wakelys Thank you Sue. @grammyn Thank you Katy. The socks are a bit wonky looking, but it's the tightness of the pattern drawing it in at the top and then back in from the heel to the toe. I'm very pleased with the sweater. @onewing Thank you Babs. I usually only wear wool hand knitted socks. @olivetreeann Thank you so much Ann. I plan to wear the socks soon and the sweater after it gets and stays warm. @illinilass Thank you very much Dorothy. @jamibann Thank you Issi. @30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie. I had to mull over 241 for a few before I figured it out. @kjarn Thank you Kathy. @pusspup Thanks so much Wylie. @will_wooderson Thanks for saying so Will. @haskar Thank you Hannah. I thought the color of the sweater was a nice one for summer.
These are both great works of art. The socks are cute and the sweater is beautiful. You have a talent that can keep you warm and cozy. I bought knitted socks last year in Norway for gifts. :)
Bravo! Beautiful work. And, oh my! I can’t imagine all the doing and then undoing and doing again and then ripping out again! Congratulations on finally finishing.
@gardenfolk There's nothing better than knitted socks. They're warm in the cold and not too hot to wear in the summer. I thank you. @mcsiegle Thank you Mary. It's ok, except that sometimes it's not and that's when a project goes into time out.
