At least I can mope around at home with Covid in my newly finished sweater. It has a little lid for my watch because I might need a watch again sometime in the future πŸ™ƒ

I know nothing about knitting but I really like the color change at the bottom.

[–] venite@mastodon.nl 18 points 9 months ago

@stom that’s a combination of the different stitch pattern and the colour variegation of the yarn. I didn’t do anything to create it. The happiest of accidents :)

Hope you feel better soon. That is some top notch work. You could do much more than mope with that after recovering.

[–] venite@mastodon.nl 2 points 9 months ago

@Imgonnatrythis thank you! Yes, I need to get better so this thing can get the audience it deserves πŸ˜†

I can write my entire knowledge of knitting on the back of a postage stamp in black marker, but I hope you feel better soon all the same!

[–] SaintWacko@midwest.social 6 points 9 months ago

Wow, that is gorgeous. I would wear the hell out of that

[–] Pattywack@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Your work is beautiful! You are so talented!

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago

I love the color!

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, covid solidarity 😭 I hope you're well on the way to recovery at this point.

Amazing sweater! The colour, the fit, the watch flap, perfection!

[–] venite@mastodon.nl 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

@thegiddystitcher awww Covid solidarity right back! I feel fine, just so tired all the time and screens give me a headache. Not practical if you’re a software engineer… hope you’re feeling better too.

I was unnerved by this sweater because there’s so much shaping in the yoke and I more or less guessed at it. It came out better than I ever hoped for πŸ₯°

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ugh that's the most frustrating part isn't it, not being able to do basic normal things. I couldn't even knit for most of this last week!

Definitely on the mend now though, but same with the tiredness. They were really not kidding about the tiredness...

[–] venite@mastodon.nl 1 points 9 months ago

@thegiddystitcher yes I had a knitless week as well. That’s how my manager knew it was serieus πŸ˜‚

I am envious. Knitted sweaters are so cool.

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

It came out really good!

[–] CyclesSmiles@mastodon.social 1 points 9 months ago

@venite @knitting@a.gup.pe @knitting@lemmy.world mooi ontwerp, mooi uitgevoerd, dus mijn hersens feesten op diverse manieren πŸ€ΉπŸ€ΈπŸ•ΊπŸ›€ alleen al door het bekijken van de foto .
Kortweg: naiaiaiss.

[–] QTpi@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Beautiful work! I love Skeindeer's patterns and this is one of the ones in my favorites. Get well soon!

[–] neonred@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wow. Even a two left handed bloke like me can say that looks really good and cozy. Like the different shades of red. Enjoy! And get well soon.

[–] venite@mastodon.nl 2 points 9 months ago

@neonred thank you! I will have to. It wants to be taken out :)
