I lived in Jakarta 2005-2006 and remember hearing about that show when I first moved there 😆...tapi, nggak berbicara Bahasa indonesia bagus, typical bule lol

Thanks so much! I really want to try some colorwork next, I really love the squishy texture of brioche so I might go for that.

I'd made at least 10-15 smaller projects before I started on this, including a more basic knit "test" sweater with shorter sleeves. It still felt daunting starting this, but I just read through the pattern ahead of time and tried to understand when/why I'd have to do certain steps.

Thanks for the hair compliment! I could definitely dm you and share whatever you want to know, unfortunately the color I've been using has been discontinued so I'm about to try a new one soon 🤞

Before I started on this sweater, I'd knit about 10-15 projects beforehand including some hats, headbands, cowls, and one really simple (short-sleeved) sweater. It took me about 6 weeks from start to finish but I had a lot of time each day to work on it. I also actually had learned to crochet before knitting and had crocheted several things.

They're both great crafts and there are a lot of nice tops you can make with just crochet if that's the craft you'd feel more comfortable learning first! There are a lot of great resources for learning both. I actually learned crochet from a book, but couldn't really grasp knitting from books, but was able to from videos.

This looks magical 😍

Incredible shot! Norway is at the top of my dream-vacay list!

I'm probably my own worst critic, but I guess some spots don't look as "polished" or "neat" to me as I'd like. Some of the ribbing on the neck collar looks a little uneven. It's just small things that are probably more noticeable to me than anyone else. Also, it was only the 2nd sweater I ever knit, so I'm self-conscious about how good my work looks to anyone else.

Sounds fun! I actually moved near Denver last year, so it's not too far of a drive.

Thank you! The darker green areas are due to cloud shadows. I was at over 11,000 ft elevation when I took this photo, so the clouds were moving quickly and casting some really neat shadows. Some of the the orange hues are either from Fall vegetation or lack of tree cover, I think. The patch of yellow is actually tons of aspen trees that had already changed during early Autumn (this was taken in September)!

Thanks!

Thank you! And will do!

I think they might be altocumulus but I could be wrong.
