Pattern is the Berroco Rooibos sweater. Made with lang cloud yarn (color 06) on 3mm and 4mm needles. My ribbing could definitely use some work but I’m super happy with how it turned out and I learned a lot making it :)

Thank you!! I already have goals for my next project. Unfortunately (fortunately ?) I knit and crochet really fast and also just have a lot of time on my hands to knit so I’ve been cranking out projects at this rate for the last 10 years :)

Also can’t edit the title but it’s supposed to say first sweater in the round, technically it’s my second sweater

Honestly just perseverance lol. I go to a lot of meetings where I’m able to just sit still and knit for an hour so that helped a lot as well

I am blown away, this is stunning!!!

I put it in a separate comment, it’s lang cloud :) the thought of weaving in that many ends is absolutely dreadful lol

Thank you so much! I hate to break it to you but my back and shoulders hurt constantly🙃 I try to be really mindful of where I’m sitting (somewhere with a backrest) and my posture but otherwise I have to just power through. I’ve seen lots of people using those glasses where you can look straight but see into your lap but they were too weird for me

This yarn is self striping :) colorwork is something way in the future for me I think lol

Honestly you can’t beat a raglan in the round🥲 this is definitely my favorite thing I’ve ever done lol

Honestly I didn’t notice a huge difference on swatching between 4mm and 5mm needles, I just ended up having to size down to fit the pattern’s gauge but I’m also really happy with the way the stitches ended up looking

Ahaha thank you! Dm me and I can show some :)

No actually! I’ve been crocheting for over 10 years though, that probably helps :)
