Yesterday's post (or
my room, for that matter) probably gave you an indication that every day is a struggle not to be
kidnapped by 1980's neon (at least until I see the accompanying shoulder pads and power suits). A significant portion of my wardrobe features hot pink and spandex, thankfully not usually in the same article of clothing.
So, predictably, I was super excited when this came in the mail.
I immediately cast on one of these:
 |
| A swatch. Or in this case, two swatches in one because I was lazy. Had to go one size up for gauge as usual (that only make sense to you knitters. For the rest of you, just know that it means I am high-strung/a tight knitter) |
And then started on this:
 |
| A sleeve! I am starting with the sleeve because swatches are lying liars and I wanted to see if the knitting would resemble a normal-sized sweater in any meaningful way before dedicating myself to the body. |
My latest project is, predictably, a lime green sweater. In this case, the green is less "acid/nuclear reaction" green and more "first spring buds." Actually, the colorway is literally called "Spring Leaf," which I chose because I refuse to have a sweater in the color "Dijon."
It's supposed to look like this when it's done:
Only, in neon.
