WIP Wednesday: Hello fluffness my old friend
It's September and my summer top is done, which means one thing: My longtime WIP (once frogged, now being re-knitted) is out of the drawer and ready to cover everything in red hair!
Unfortunately, it also means that I'm using my old basic circulars again because I superstitious and afraid of changing needles mid-project). Significantly lesser knitting experience compared to my beloved Reflections.
This looks so soft and squishy
That colour is everything to me 🧡 Better luck with it this time!
My contribution to WIP day is progress on my snuggly green Justyna Jumper. It'd been sitting for a while (because sleeves) but the #FallFinishAlong over on Mastodon really has my arse in gear.
One sleeve finished, the other immediately picked up and started so I didn't lose steam. Making good progress now. And shoutout to @[email protected] because that much simpler elastic bind-off you put me onto recently has been a gamechanger for the cuffs 😆
It sounds like you'll have it on time for winter - and it looks so warm! Love the saturated green!
If all my clothes weren't black, they'd definitely be green as a second choice 😄
Managed another two whole sleeve rounds last night after posting this too so you know, totes storming along...
Totally know what you mean. My clothes are mostly plain black/brown/grey because these colours are a safe bet for me. I'm weary of taking a colour risk when I'll put so much time and effort in making a garment..."Luckily", knitting with black yarn is such a pain in the eye that I'm forced to pick a colour :)
Hah, yup, I ended up having to set a strict colour palette for myself because otherwise I was just picking weird bright colours at random that were fun to knit or sew or whatever, but that I never wore! Just not a colourful person deep down, I guess.
(my palette is like, black, dark green, dark blue, purple etc...embracing my inner witch)
As a person with a cool winter complexion, I resemble that last remark 🤣. My wardrobe is totally in that comment. I've been trying to branch out but I keep coming back.
Apparently I'm something called a bright spring and I should be wearing bright orange and turquoise and other such things. But you can rip my dark witchy vibes out of my cold dead hands 😂

Glad that you brought that up! How did you determine your colours? I've tried an online tool that uses pictures, but the results are all over the place...
I'm pretty sure everyone is tired of seeing my Halloween-y double knit scarf. I suspect it's cursed because every time I put it on my son, it "needs one or two more charts" to be long enough.
Beautiful color!
@QTpi @weirdsquid Not even gonna click through from Mastodon to reply to this, I'm just gonna say SHOW US YOUR CURSED SCARF 😂
Here's is the cursed scarf. Progress slowed because of birthday party preparation but this should be it this time.
For the record: I'm not bored of it either! Looks stunning!
Definitely do not envy you all those ends, but it is a thing of absolute beauty
