It is a dolman sleeve type sweater, so once the sleeves are about the size needed to the underarm seam you start casting off until there are only stitches left for the body of the sweater. You then do the same for the upper back and finally join to knit the body. The pattern is Circe by Natasja Hornby (Moonstruck-knits), and I am using Knitpicks Wool of the Andes DK in the colour Fairy tale. I started in back in Dec 2022, but only got one strap knit before it got put aside.
I have in the meantime gone back to organizing yarn, and while I was going through the bag of striping yarns, I decided that some of that yarn could be designated for skirts. I am going to knit a skirt in worsted weight leftovers of Noro yarns knit in vertical strips with some shaping. And I do have an ice brand yarn that is a fine sport weight in very neutral colours of greys and blues, and found a Drops Designs pattern done in garter stitch triangles for a skirt.
Some day I am going to use up all that yarn in my yarn room, either in knitting or use it in weaving, and I may also sell some, who knows. And maybe some day I'll also finish my WIPS, again who knows.
