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 🙃

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

venite@mastodon.nl · 18 pts · 2y

@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.

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

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!

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!

@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 🥰

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 pts · 2y

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

FireTower@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

It came out really good!

@venite @knitting@a.gup.pe @knitting@lemmy.world the watch window is a great addition.

I am envious. Knitted sweaters are so cool.
