We are sunny side up today & ready to seam the egg

We are sunny side up today & ready to seam the egg sweater! I’ve been putting this off for a bright day as I’ll be shooting a time-lapse of the process for YouTube. Looks like today’s the day! 🧶🪡
.
As soon as I pop a collar on this sweater I’ll open my first test knitting call in ages, so stay tuned for that, intarsia and seamed sweater-loving pals! If you are eager to be part of this test, please email me for details.

Some morning colorwork on Thanksgiving Eve. 🧶🤓 I’m hoping to bind off & block this sweater over the next few days - who else has making goals this long weekend?

The days may be so short right now, but it’s helping me find lots of knitting & dog bonding time! Turns out that June here is a big fan of lap cuddles & my wool cape. 🥺🥺🥺 (Thanks to my husband for catching the moment when she decided to snuggle up!)

There’s yarn chicken, then there’s this kind of chicken: trying to get a picture of June being cute around my knitting but also hauling a*s to keep my WIP out of her mouth when I’m pushing my luck. 😆
.
As you can see, she has no other toys to occupy herself and must resort to chompin’ yarn.

Confession: Before this project, I’d never done

Confession: Before this project, I’d never done 2 handed stranded knitting. I wasn’t taught throwing technique as a kid when I learned to knit, but 25 years later, I realized I have a few ideas up my sleeve (🤣) and wanted to start getting my technique tightened up while playing with some new design ideas.
.
Practicing technique makes me feel a bit like I’ve gone back to my days as a classical musician, running scales and whatnot. Anybody else do technique practice projects like this or am I being super yarn nerdy again?
.
Pattern: I’m improvising. / Yarn: @kelbournewoolens Germantown via @knit_picks
