June Makes, Faves, and WIPs
This month was a busy one, due to end-of-the-year stuff! Let's get to it: Makes: I finally finished my Weekender sweater! It took me a grand total of four months, and I missed the deadline for every KAL for it except one =D But it got done! I used 7 of the 9 skeins of Spincycle Yarns Trine that I purchased, because I ended up deciding to knit the body to 12 inches instead of 15, for more of a cropped sweatshirt fit. That was my only modification, besides not doing a tubular bind-off for the sleeve cuffs. (I did do it for the neckline though.) I don't know if I'll ever make this one again--it's a great pattern, and easy, but for me, it was tedious. (Plain stockinette--or reverse stockinette--for so many inches is just very boring for me. It feels ENDLESS.) It probably would not have taken me nearly so long if I had felt more excited about picking it up :) But that said, I really like the finished object, and I wish it weren't ramping up to summer weather right now,
