Still chugging along on the sleeves of my sweater. I’m doing full-length sleeves instead of the pattern’s 3/4. During the week I usually only get 2-3 rounds done each night, so I’m hoping to have the sweater done by the end of the month.

Pattern: Sunanami pullover

Yarn: KnitPicks Capretta Superwash in eclipse heather

Edit: typos

    Not a knitter, but I just scrolled by this post while my wife is taking photos of a sweater she just finished on the floor.

    Looks nice! May you dodge the hex of having posted an unfinished project and successfully finish it in good time! (Waggles fingers of good magic at you)

    Looking good!

    How do you like the yarn? I’ve been tempted to try it out in the past, but the reviews made it seem hit or miss.

      Now that my sweater is finished and I’ve worn it several times, it’s not a yarn I’d use again. It is warm, but it pills easily. The pills are very light compared to the yarn color, so they really stand out. Definitely glad I decided to wait before buying this yarn to make a sweater for my partner - I’ll find something else for them.

      I’m liking it so far. It’s very soft and doesn’t irritate my fingers. It is definitely getting a halo in areas and I haven’t even blocked it yet, so I am wondering how it will wear long-term.
