Luella Top: FFO 18 Mar 2025
This design is the Luella Top by Love Crafts (I think). I started knitting on 28 Oct 2022 and finally tucked in the ends on 18 March 2025. It is now an FFO! Yes! The yarn is We Love Yarn from Hobbii. The colorway is #16 (red). This yarn is labeled #1 and is 100% cotton. Finished bust from the pattern: 44” Pattern stitch gauge per 4”: 28 My actual bust measurement: 44” My stitch gauge per 4”: 27 With my gauge, the sweater will be about 1.63 inches larger than the pattern (45.63”). This gives me an additional 1.63” positive ease. Decided to make size 46 using #2 needles. The pattern shows a 4 stitch increase from size to size. I added 8 stitches to the CO to increase the ease. CO: 161 stitches. I added length to this sweater for a tunic length. Note: If I decide to knit this sweater again, try making it closer to the original design for a different look.

The Gobbletons
Started 23 July 2023. This project is being worked on a pre-printed 28 count evenweave called gobble pumpkin. The fabrics is by Fabric Flair. The project is meant to be worked 2 threads over 2 squares. However, I’m stitching using a single thread over one square. The plan is to add a few more motifs and script to say: “Meet me in the pumpkin patch”. Called for DMC flosses. After 30.5 hours of stitching:
