The Youngest picked a few motifs from my Lucinda Guy book, and I am in the process of adding length to the sleeves and bottom hem.
One of the things I love about this book is that space ships and robots were available for The Youngest to choose, and she did.
I am not quite sure about the robots, though, I think they'll end up being too long. I think I am going to pull them out and redraw the chart to a smaller scale.
The left sleeve is finished, so all that remains is the right sleeve and finishing up the hem.
Wow, that is one intricate sweater. Good for you for having the patience to do that! I have tried colour work just a couple of times and have given up in frustration (I pull it too tight) so this year I have decided I'm going to give it another go...with stockings,something that doesn't have to fit precisely.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work. Hopping over from KCCO.
Wow, that sweater is gorgeous. I'm sure it won't be too long with the robots, probably just right!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing knitting!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing knitting. I am impressed that you can frog it and be able to add to it. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly amazing! It will be totally stunning!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! What a labor of love!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is amazing, great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing sweater! I hope the lengthening process goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! You could cut the robots below the hips (so that the arms are still on the sweater).
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is stunning! I can't wait to learn to do colorwork like that!

Amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh stunning!! I yearn to do colorwork but haven't really tried diving in yet, just a bit that was really a failure last year but I am determined to try again. This kind of work is a long way off for me, but it's so darling!
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful colourwork there. I'm going to have to look that book up, you've picked some really nice designs
ReplyDeletebeautiful sweater! good luck finishing it :) ...I'm making a colorwork Star Wars cowl for my love but it's going so slowly because I keep switching to less difficult projects :P
ReplyDeleteVery cute little sweater.
ReplyDeleteI would leave the robots in and have it be long. That is a great sweater.
