#superwash

I finally finished the sweater that I’ve had on my needles since August! I had taken quite a break from it to knit Christmas presents, but following the holidays I picked it back up again and was determined to finish it.

I love how it turned out! There’s enough positive ease to make it just the right amount of oversized, without looking too huge on me. Funny story - when I first blocked it, I tried to lay it out flat to dry, and it grew so much that it could have fit a gorilla. My friends tried to convince me that it couldn’t be that bad, but one look at it and they were laughing so hard they cried. It was, in fact, that bad. After some some frantic research regarding the yarn, I realized it was superwash, wet it again and threw it in the dryer to dry. Thankfully that worked, and I’ll have to do that from now on when I wash it!

My Ravelry project is here, and the pattern is a free one by Tin Can Knits (here). I modified the neckline to add a scoop as well as the gauge to be able to use this yarn, but otherwise I knit it as written. I would definitely recommend it, and may eventually knit it again!
