Has an appointment with the washing machine after thanksgiving. There is no way that it’s going to dry so much smaller after it’s done blocking. I’m thinking that the only way to save it might be to felt it (or at least full it) but if that doesn’t work it’s ok too. It’s a learning experience. I love the yarn still & I love the pattern so I will probably knit it again but out of Malabrigo instead. Right now I need to focus on christmas knits.
Tilted Duster update: I’ve finished the back pannel & two front pannels. I started on the first sleeve. Probably will have them both finished by sunday. Then I need to block, seam & start the skirt part of the jacket. This is a super fast easy knit.
So, did it get any smaller?
I think I found a new home.
Oh, I hate it when wool soaks up water and stretches out! Is it still wearable?
I’m going to felt it tonight and see what happens. I have desided that if it’s too small after felting that I will give it to my best friend for christmas as a house jacket. She’s way more petiet than me.
I should have blocked a swatch but I was impatient. This yarn is still totally lovely though! I will also re-knit this sweater. So cute on!
