Working on the crocheted sleeve no. 2 and the body simultaneously. The colors are quite different although they come from the same dye bath. The two sleeves do look similar. #WIPWednesday #knitting #crochet #HandDyed

Did the math and cast on for the body of the Julien lace sleeve sweater. Also started crocheting the second sleeve. #knitting #crochet

Worked mostly on the Julien lace sleeve pullover last week. Finished the first crochet lace sleeve.
Scribbled knit purl motifs to spice up the stockinette knit body and I'm seriously swatching, although with a different colour. For the body I hold two strands of yarn together and use 3,5 mm needles. That's a lot of stitches.
Also bought some new bamboo fine crochet needles with thick handles that are more friendly for my hands than the old plain ones.

My lovely new neighbours have an XXL cat called Ghengiz Cat, so now I need to #crochet a horse.

Blocking it. That button band could have been neater. But for a first time sweater I'll settle for it. Now thinking about next projects and old UFOs to finish. #handspinning #knitting

Sleeve no. 2 is finished. Let's first weave in some ends and start the button band tomorrow with daylight.
Found this Suzanne Bryan video that will help to make a neat edge:

Good progress on the raw fleece to hoody project. It has a hood now. Working on sleeve no. 2. Expect some trial and error with the button bands. Found buttons. Many ends to weave in. #WIPWednesday #handspinning #knitting

Progress on the raw fleece to hoody project. Decided to finish the color work on the sleeves first before moving on to the rest of the body. This ensures the darkest color will match. I will alternate it with the next cake when closer to finishing the first. #WIPWednesday #knitting #handspinning #handdyeing

Blocking the hand spun shawl. And tried not to overthink this. This is the 'wrong' side. My lace knitting is pretty inconsistent. #knitting #handspinning

Worked on many WIP's last week. Finished the hand spun shawl. Almost done with the raw fleece to pouffe project. Spun some yarn for the raw fleece to hoody project.
And just pulled out this old WIP to keep myself from casting on something new. Doing this with hook size 1,9 mm so it literally takes forever which kind of matches the idea of a Penrose tiling.

Daylight picture. But yeah, blocking and weaving in ends to be done. #knitting #handspinning

The hand spun shawl is done. 77.135 stitches. Desperately needs blocking, but will have to wait until next weekend. 2 grams of yarn leftover, 103 grams used. It's still hard to tell what the dimensions will be after blocking. I think 140 cm wide and 40 cm deep.

Doing a lace bind off with a crochet needle is so much faster than with knitting needles. Thank you mrs. Micawber . Still 675 stitches takes a while. #knitting https://youtu.be/rEh6PhCn5j8

Back on track. Separated for the sleeves again and it fits. Knitted until I bumped into color 6. That's by far the largest amount I have to prep, card and spin. So it will take a while before I return to knitting.
First I'll update my spreadsheet with stitch counts to match the changes I made. I use it to make a better estimate of the amount of stitches I get out of each gram of yarn, the number of stitches I'll need and thus the amount of yarn I have to spin.

It's too big. I'll rip back to past de last increase row and then try it on again. I do need the added rows I did for yoke depth. And I think I'll move the armholes slightly to the back for a better fit. #WIPWednesday #knitting #handspinning
