My roving is now entirely singles, and I’m so proud of them it is a little embarrassing.
The sweater is progressing, as well, and I don’t want to speak too soon, but I think this iteration is turning out a little better than the last one. I sat down and blocked all of the pieces after I’d finished the first sleeve, because I’d been fretting that this sweater would bloom on blocking just as unexpectedly as the last one did. But after sewing everything together, I’m much more confident that this one will fit the way I’d like it to. Making it has been a pretty cool learning experience for me.
