Happy to have finally finished my Celestia Top, I made it a bit longer as I absolutely wanted to have some of the dark red of my color changing yarn in it. I love it 🥰
Hot off the needles tonight, I have finally finished knitting this one. Tomorrow I will sew in the last few ends and wet block the sweater. I love how the colours of the Bendigo Woollen Mills 4 ply Multicolour sock yarn in colourway Hydrangea Blooms suits the project. The main colour is Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 4 ply in Almond. After all the frogging (9 times) and attempts at Ladderback Jacquard floats I am really pleased About going back to twisting in my floats Fair Isle style.
After unpicking back to the short rows 8 times as I couldn’t get the Ladderback to sit flat I have admitted defeat and gone back to using the twisted float method. Now I am progressing again and almost up to where I was before all the frogging. I watched the videos, but never quite got it right. I was so afraid of ruining my yarn that I have defaulted to my usually floats.
@Shuna Marr the LBJ kept bunching up the show side of the work. I just couldn’t get the tension right. After 8 attempts I went back to my old method of twistIing in the floats.
