The sweater I’ve long dreamed of! Some may say silly timing as it’s almost summer, but I say I’ve now got me the coziest thing for cool mornings and nights outside! 🤠

This was ~the~ sweater I envisioned when I started knitting (this and a traditional Irish Aran sweater that I am nowhere near ready to attempt!). It will be beloved and cherished.

Making garments is an incredibly fulfilling yet humbling practice for me. It’s the world I always loved and wanted to be in. If you let it, making something with your hands can be deeply healing, which is sometimes uncomfortable. It forces me to face parts of myself like my perfectionism or to be real with my intentions or to remind myself to slow down and take in the process. It’s hard for me to ignore these very real aspects of making. I feel like I’m in constant reflection mode. It’s not just about the finished object, even if it looks it.

🌟 Pattern is #winterspullover by @ozetta with some length and ribbing modifications all around.

🧶 Yarn is the most beautiful @eisaku_noro @noroyarns Haunui in #4/Mackenzie Basin that I’ve had my eyes on for a while. The details in this undyed (!!!) yarn are just amazing, I could talk about it for days.
