finished my first colorwork sweater!!!!

( @trashpandacraft was right it probably could do with one more blocking sesh but tbh it's Good Enough and I was excited to wear it and also my blocking set up is in the most inconvenient place possible so.)

#wow I thought the colorwork part took a long time....#i had to undo the the neckline for the front and back because the armseye wasn't deep enough #and then I made up the sleeves as i went because they didnt match the pattern anymore #but I also messed up the sizing (got my inches and centimeters mixed up lol)#but that just gave me a cropped sweater which i like so i didnt go bacl to fix that #and even tho i went down a needle size the stitches came out a touch loose and the fabric where there is no #colorwork is quite mesh like #so i have to wear a cami under when im at work but i do that with all my pullovers regardless of fabric so thats no biggie.#but the pros now.#the linen and silk are so comfy for my bad body heat managment ass #i will be wearing this sweater in the summer. (atleast at work)#the sizing is perfect in spite of The Problems #i feel much better about having to undo so much of it (neckline and half of one sleeve as well as restart the ribbing 3 times #the v neck is cute. ive been on that turtleneck grind for a while now i forgot how nice v necks look on me #knitting #yarn #sweater #handmade #handknit #handknitting #hand knitting
