Nantucket Knitter

My absolute favorite part of making a sweater is separating the sleeves from the body. That is when it starts looking like a sweater.
This is the sweater from , knit in color antler, purchased from .

I’ve never been very comfortable with color work, which is why I specifically chose to make these. I have decided that I am going to start doing projects that challenge me.

I started holding the yarn a different way about halfway through the first mitt, and it’s interesting that you can see the dominant yarn switched.

The pattern is by and I used palette. I honestly would not recommend that yarn for a project like this, it got quite felted.

A while back, I got tired of my weight yo-yoing constantly. I knew it wasn’t healthy for my mind or body. So after much thought, one month ago today I had weight-loss surgery. I it has been a roller coaster, and I don’t expect it to get any less crazy anytime soon. But mentally and physically, I feel amazing.

My heaviest weight: 244
My weight at surgery: 233
Current weight: 200.4
Goal weight: honestly, just to get below 200, because I didn’t want to go into the whole thing expecting too much.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve made a doll that wasn’t an animal. She’s almost done! What color should her hair be?

and were used for her.
