Christmas Sweater Project - July Update

This post has been in draft status for waaaay too long. As usual, my knitting kept up behind the scenes while my posts did not. There will also be no August update since I didn't pick this baby up one bit in August. Another larger project came up (to be shared at some point) and this guy took the back burner. No worries, though, as I'm still on track to finish by December and am feeling confident that I will.



As predicted, I tore through the whole sleeve in July rather than splitting it up into July and August per the original timeline. This means the body and both sleeves were done on schedule and I was able to join and start working on the yoke in September.  I'm very much looking forward to knitting through the yolk with all the fun colorwork. Wish me luck!

  • April - Finish last 7" of body to the armpits

  • July - Make half of second sleeve
