Episode 56: Sweater Obsessed

All links to Ravelry are labelled as such. I try to include links to outside websites as much as possible. At this time, I am not including links for purchasing yarns, needles, etc. If I do, they will also be appropriately labelled. As a quick reminder: I am not affiliated with any businesses.

The ‘2024 Sweater‘ (ravelry link) for Mr. Kickass is the Dizen Sweater by Moira Engel in Miss Babs ‘Yowza’ in the colorway “River Severn”. It has been the sole knitting in my hands. My purpose. My obsession.

The ‘2024 Sweater’ has also been my problem. Although, it seems more accurate to say that my hubris has been the source of all my problems. If I had paid attention to knitting wisdom of the ages by alternating hand dyed skeins of yarn and reading all of the instructions in a pattern, this entire section could have been avoided.

THEY EVEN TELL YOU! I HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF!
My hubris in action. Even Mr. Kickass noticed immediately.
