I’m back in the swing of things with my knitting, which means a classic case of Cast on-itis has manifested.
It’s not enough to finish just finish my nephew’s super cute christmas sweater. No, I couldn’t just enjoy my beautiful seams. I had to start another sweater. Of course, that sweater can’t be knit in a dark movie theater so I had to cast on a movie theater project. I’m still working on my latest shawl too!
It’s all going well! Baby’s first ugly Christmas sweater is almost done. It’s acrylic and I’m thinking of ‘killing’ it. Not something I’ve ever done intentionally but I think it’ll take this sweater from stiff to drapey. That should up the cozy factor! I’m planning to wash and dry it in the machine. Then, hit it with the steam iron.
I’ll keep you posted! Hopefully it’ll be ready for a big FO Friday reveal! You aren’t gonna want to miss this one!

If you haven’t done it already, a good steaming will make the sweater super drapey. I had a post on my blog a couple years ago that talked about this very process. Luckily I “killed” a swatch first before trying it on my huge shawl or I would have been upset as I didn’t like the effect. A really good steaming however did the job perfectly and it became really lovely.

That was my intention. Turned the steam up and *poof* instant drape. Worked perfectly. Acrylic really is great for babies. I’ll post pictures shortly :)
