Didn’t have a #WIPWednesday post for #Knitsky yesterday because…I have a finished object instead 😬😬 Lumme no.2 and sweater 3 (maybe 4?) of 2025. I feel like this is actually a ✨perfect✨ circular yoke pattern.

Couldn’t have turned out more perfect - hoping the graft line softens a little over time. Either way, the fit of this pattern is so good that I’m making another 😬

Block didn’t exactly go the way I expected, so I was brave and cut the sleeves off (and grafted the cuffs back on) 😮💨🧶

Nah I’m obsessed with this sleeve. The stitches look SO much better than they do on the yoke 🙃

Third time’s a charm? Maybe 😅 I’m a little more content with this try and I think blocking will wash away the rest of the ick for me 🧶

How on earth is one actually supposed to confidently say their Italian cast on isn’t twisted before joining 😅💀 I’d almost rather do a double knit style tubular cast on and join after my set up row 🧶
