Douglas Fir Sweater

Another fingering weight sweater, these take quite a bit of time but they are worth the labour when the time comes to wear them. I just checked, this one was 70 days from cast on to cast off, I will leave it to you to decide if that's a long time or not.

So far I love it, soft and squishy and not too warm for indoors. The "not to warm" part is becoming more important lately. Sigh.

Pattern: Improvised
Yarn: Knit Picks Comfy Fingering Weight in Douglas Fir
Needle: 2.25mm & 2.75mm
Gauge: 31 stitches and 46 rows = 10 cm


Other Knitting
Progress continues on my Star Wars Scarf, it's a bit further along than this picture but I am too lazy to take another one right now.


My latest socks have stalled, not enough meetings at work lately I guess. Another wool sweater progresses slowly and I cast on for a t-shirt. Lots on the go as usual.

Now I just need something to watch on Netflix while I knit. I Just finished Lucifer on the weekend and I have no idea what to try next.

Current Weather
7C and raining. Cold and wet here in the southern part of the province and wildfire season started early up north.
