I've been working on a sweater for my little brother. The plan was to finish it before the Ravellenic Games start in less than a week. I think I've still got a chance...
(A progress pic straight from my Insta story. That's as good as it's going to get right now.)
So you can kind of see the sweater here. It's a heavily-modified Abate by Alicia Plummer. (Link leads to Ravelry, please exercise caution!) I'm using chunkier yarn, so a larger gauge, and I've really switched up the neck; going for a plain crewneck to save yarn. I'm not sure my brother would like a big cowl/collar anyway. Especially one so thick with this bulky yarn.
It's still knit top-down and I'm doing the sleeves first now that I've knit a few rows past splitting for them, because I'm not sure how much yarn I have. I bought it over four years ago and my brother's grown quite a bit since then, haha!
Speaking of the Ravellenics, I'm going for a chunky cabled cardigan for me. Aidez!! (Link leads to Ravelry, please exercise caution!) This could be crazy, but I'm going to try. I've had the yarn for a while and kept meaning to start it, so this is a good kick in the pants for me. Plus, I'm one of the captains for Team Knit Picks Lovers!! And since I've never been a captain before, I get this shiny laurel:
If you have Knit Picks yarn or a Knit Picks pattern you want to use for a Ravellenics project, come join us!! (link leads to Ravelry, please exercise caution!)
