Batman is almost finished!

Oh my god! I'm so close to finish of Batman guys! Just finished the fair-isle around the yoke and will now do shortened rows in the neck and one last decreasing before ribbing and finished!

As I've said earlier, I was thinking about doing a hood for it, but after trying it on now, I decided against it and will just end with ribbing.

I love this yarn for sweaters though! Even though Silja is more a sock type yarn, it is perfect for sweaters like this. It's strong, and thin, yet warm and cozy. It's also light so the sweater doesn't weigh too much when worn. I will most likely make more sweaters with this yarn, and I do want more Marius sweaters...

What do you guys think? It took me about 10 days to make! Still not 100% done so I might count it as 11, but it's dang fast for a sweater if you ask me!

Still no big fan of yellow though...

Batman sweater WIP

A quick little WIP on Batman here!
I'm only working on this sweater until it's finished, and since it's such a huge piece, it takes some time to make progress on it. I've done quite a good chunk of the fair-isle now and I'm almost done with the Batman logos in the middle. Before you ask, yes it is based of the ever so popular Marius pattern so you could say it's just another Marius version...but I still like to call it Batman.

Note to self though... Silja looks best when worked fair-isle on 3mm needles or thinner... I am using 3,5mm needles and I feel that the knitwork feels a little loose and the fair-isle ain't the prettiest... Gonna need a hell of a blocking when it's finished, that's for sure. Still love this yarn and I will for sure make more garments with it!

Batman is currently only 9 days in the making!

Progress of the day - 5th feb

Time for another progress blog! Since I didn't print one out yesterday, I'm making it double! Expecially since I can't guarantee I will be making one of these every day from now on. I'm currently working on my Batman sweater, and it takes a while getting some actuall visible progress on it. I am kinda winging the pattern and I'm kinda following the standar pattern for a Marius sweater with round yoke, though I might actually do mine in raglan...depending on how the yoke fair-isle will be, I've yet to decide this.
Anyway! I've made a good bit of progress today, so hopefull this sweater will fly by fast if I keep this up. I'm doing a longer ribbing boarder at the bottom of the body, so I've been working on that all day and I finally got it at 10cm (4").

 

And since I didn't make a update yesterday, here's a picture of the rompers progress! I'm slowly getting there, and yes, the green stripes are getting thicker and thicker.

 

So here's to hoping to get alot of progress done quickly! I'd love to finish up these rompers soon so I can move on to another side project! I've promised Pickle a shawl and Netty a pair of slippers, and I'd hate to dissapoint my friends!
