Total AW: Look at me! Look at me!

[Cicero]

Look what I knit. In sock yarn. It is so squishy and feels like a sweatshirt.

Please ignore the small photo bomber.

Nice!

Now you know you have to make one for each of us, right?

[memenee]

That is fantastic!!! Nice work!!

This would take me about 12 years to do. I'm very impressed.

[orangeblossom]

I love it. Good job.

[josieposy]

You knit that?!!! Very nice!

How many of us are there? That could take a decade.

[heyjude]

Wow!

[meshaliuknits]

It's beautiful!

What yarn? How many? What pattern? On a scale of one to Cosby Sweater, how stupid would I look in one?

4 skeins Cascade Heritage solids. It's the Still Light Tunic by Veera Valimaki and judging by the project photos it looks great on a ton of different body types. It goes a lot more quickly than I thought it would.

I won't even knit socks in sock yarn, because they take too long!

#7 needles for lyfe!



It looks fantastic! Good onya!

[SallyJ]

Wow!! So pretty and great job!! I have no patience to knit. I wish because that really is awesome.

[secretlyevil]

I'll send you my measurements this weekend. Wow, that is just amazing.

Sock yarn is so much easier on the hands when you use US #5 which is what I had to use to get gauge here.

I'm knitting a DOLL sweater right now, on #5 needles (DK yarn) and it just feels like it's taking FOREVER.

I'm an impatient knitter.

How long does it take to knit something like that?

I mean how long for someone like you, with mad knitting skills, not someone like me who can't knit a potholder. Maybe if I made all the potholders and knitted them together...

It's so pretty!

[thejackpot]

Fantastic work! Look at you all skilled and stuff

[lys]

Cute! How long did it take?
Lately my knitting has been limited to socks, hats and mittens.

It took about a month of working on it and no other projects.

[kapoentje]

Wow, well done! Love the color too!

I was using US 1's last night. But I knit a tiny thing so it only took a couple of hours. My main complaint is that I have to use metal when they're that small b/c knitting with bamboo 1's is like trying to knit with toothpicks. Too bendy.

::shivers::
I don't own needles smaller than a size 3.  I keep thinking I should buy a sock set to get DPNs in small sizes, but I can't make myself do it.


I keep thinking we (as in, board people) should share our Ravelry usernames.  There are a lot of us knitters/crocheters here, no?

Is anyone else suddenly overcome with the need to buy more yarn?

It took about a month, but it was a month that included a road trip and it's pretty easy car knitting.

[pt716]

Wow. It looks amazing. As a very slow knitter, I am super impressed with how fast you made that.
