You guys! I’m making progress!
I finished the back piece of the Hualpa Kimono and blocked it over the weekend. The floats that I was worried about did work out for the most part although I’m fairly certain my gauge grew because I was trying to work so loosely through the colorwork. Hopefully this won’t affect my yardage too much, I don’t have a lot of the white color left and I’d hate to run out because my gauge got bigger.
I also started the fronts – yes, both of them. I saw on Instagram that another knitter had done the fronts this way and I thought it was a smart idea! That’s all the white I have left down in that picture, luckily the fronts have much less colorwork than the back but I’m still a bit nervous.
So, fingers crossed I don’t run out of yarn. What did you do this weekend?
Yay progress! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that your white yarn lasts 🙂 I got almost nothing done this weekend-I got roped into going to the city with my mum on Friday night (and spending waaaay too much at Sephora-oops!), then all day Saturday was cleaning to get ready for my sister and her boyfriend to come over on Sunday.
Sounds like a fun, family-filled weekend to me! Worth giving up a little knitting time sometimes, aren’t they? 😉
That’s a lot of progress, I love this colourwork! Glad to hear that the floats didn’t cause any problems, can’t wait to see the finished project.
Thanks! I started a new project to be my purse knitting last night because doing both fronts at the same time means I’m herding yarn balls when I work on them but hopefully they’ll knit up quickly!
