The finished Refracted Sweater! I love it, even though it's still a bit itchy. Consider me a convert to the wonderful world of speckle yarns for things other than socks 😁
Crafter's Log - Back on the craft horse!
It's official, I'm back to making videos! But I'm also rusty and it's taking longer than expected, so plans to publish today didn't work out. At least I'm back on the horse 🤷♀️
On the bright side I did need to finally take photos of this #CroppedBoatneckSweater that was finished a very long time ago, has been worn, has even visited Norway, and as you can tell from the crumples has reached the stage of "this is just a normal jumper that lives in my jumper pile"
So a very belated #FOFriday feature, for a project that was a really nice knit and didn't deserve to wait so long.
Since @thegiddystitcher wants to bring FO Fridays (Finished Object for those not versed in crafts lingo) back into popularity I figured I'd help out.
A small woven rug. It's a soft bouclé type of yarn in the pattern pics that has been alternated with a plain weave consisting of a simple cotton rag.
How come WIP Wednesday stayed such a thing over the years, but FO Friday didn't? Hmm?
Well, I have a Finished Object and it's Friday, so here we are.
Given that we have a snow and ice warning (again), I think there's still plenty of use left in these before Spring. And the thumbholes are a gamechanger!

#FOFriday my finished objects this week are 1) the Semilla slipover vest by Vivian Wei. Purls for days (it's partly knit inside out so I could knit rather than purl). Really liked the Wool of the Andes bulky yarn and it feels very comfy on.
2) January cuff club sock pattern from #SummerLee with requisite photo bomb from Charlotte. I added the little anklet stripe.
