All it took was some positive comments from you guys and suddenly I had the motivation to finish!

Then
Now

I’m grateful to you all, and particularly to Tierney who gave me a different perspective – that finishing would be a gift for whoever ends up owning the jumper.

Line, no. Snarled up stitches, yes.

That line I was fretting over has mostly disappeared, which I’m glad about. Still a bit of a fangled moment on the back, but I think it’s passable. There isn’t actually a back or front except for the fact that one side had an error in it that we’ll want to keep behind us.

It looks a weird shape, but it does fit ok! It’s still not right for me, but it’s in the donation bag and I very much hope it’s right for someone.

I’ve added this post to the Unraveled Wednesday linkup, with thanks to Kat for hosting.

    Well done YOU!! What a fantastic finish!! You have really given me some thoughts on color blocking my knitting! It is the perfect way to “refurbish” a knit that has some wear!

      Oh thank you Kat! I would definitely do colour blocking like this again, except on purpose next time and not because I ran out of yarn 😁

      Thank you! It’s a totally different jumper but still good in its own way.
