It blocked well enough, I’ll just have to live with having miscalculated and made the wrong size.
It’s cute! It’s warm and squishy! It knit up surprisingly fast! I will definitely make this pattern again!

Embrace Octopus Sweater, completed in march 2023
this was the pattern that got me into knitting sweaters, and the pattern that got me into knitting color work. it took years and several sweaters, shirts, and other color work projects to work my skills up to the point I felt comfortable with this, but for a while this was what was guiding my knitting journey. now that I'm on the other side, I do feel a bit lost. it's really fun having something that consumes you like this—I feel like I'm always chasing something that can be that light, that can answer questions about what to do next, that can give me a metric to measure against. until I find that again, I'll just be making what feels right in the moment
also, wearing this sweater feels like you're getting a big, warm hug from a tentacled beast, which I'm sure some of you freaks are into

I need a little advice from the knitting community on here about how to proceed with my jumper.
The vision was to knit a black jumper with different coloured stripes in green, yellow and blue using leftover yarn from socks I knitted previously.
When knitting the blue stripe I realised that the blue colour wasn't contrasting enough with the black to really pop. All three sock yarns have a nice little gradient going which looks really nice for green and yellow but the blue yarn has some really dark bits in it that don't contrast much against the black. So I undid it and used some red yarn that I had left over. Unfortunately this doesn't have a gradient, so I am not convinced it really works. I am a bit torn about what to do now.
