Notes

Yeah, I know - this is my 7th Vitamin D….

But I always love making those and I love the finished results I made so far as well!

Plus the yarn is way too pretty for just to be socks. The colours remind me of icecream (hazelnut, apricot, blackberry, rawsberry, Schlumpfeis…), hence the name.

I do not know yet what yarn I will use as a combination as I only have 1 ball of the Regia, but I have enough sockyarn in my stash to use…

June 30, 2020

Finished the last front increase and seperated the sleeves.

Casted on 6 instead of just 4 stitches at the underarm

Decided to use the pink Nord yarn and the brown Fabel as additional colours.

July 2, 2020

Used up the 50 g ball of Drops Nord at the 6th repeat of the second short row set. Switched back to the selfstriping then.

July 3, 2020

Finished second set of short rows - will be interesting to see how far I will get with the rest of the self-striping yarn…

July 11, 2020

Picked Up 81 stitches for the sleeves

July 15, 2020

Finished first sleeve after 10x 2 stitces decreasing to 60 stitches. Added another 10 rows in the contrasting sockyarn and then did 3 garter ridges for the cuff.

July 16, 2020

Finished knitting - ended up with app. 10 g of the tan brown and app. 15 g of the purple used, that brings me to a total of app. 255 g for the whole sweater. The sleeves are app. 3/4 length before washing.

July 17, 2020

Perfect length after washing! The sleeves might be a bit on the tight side currently, but by experience will stretch a little with wear.

I really love how the colours go together, also those are all from stash and none has been bought with the idea in mind to combine them in 1 project.
