As always your work is stunning, love all the modifications to make the pullover great for you. Even though it’s on the pricier side for a pattern, well worth it and worth supporting the designer.

Clockwork fiber is out of all worsted yarn!

Message her! She may be able to assist!

That's just perfect, it's a great sweater on you and you did a good job on it. 25 days, great. Yes, it is a steep price, especially due to the exchange rate when it's added for $AUD for me, So sadly not in my price range.

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you! 😊

Beautiful! I miss knitting Icelandic and other sweaters like this. I grew up in a cold climate, so it was a constant for us. But in southern California and Hawaii where I’ve lived the last 20 years it’s just too warm. But I’ve gotten over it and I’m back to, using wall again and hoping that someone will buy my crazy hand dyed hanks. I am going to be traveling to London in Edinburgh, end of January and beginning of February so looking forward to getting some specialty yarn there. Any suggestions are appreciated.

[@rachelisknitting]

I can definitely relate to growing up in a colder place than where you live now. I enjoyed visiting Kathy's Knits in Edinburgh, and I've also heard great things about Ginger Twist. I'll be going to the latter in May and am very excited! I hope you enjoy your trip!

Brooklyn Tweed has increased their prices by a lot, I remember their patterns used to be less than $10 when I started knitting just a couple years ago.

[@rachelisknitting]

I should have stocked up!

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

Love the sweater. Do you always use the Norwegian knitting thimble or just for colorwork? Does it help with tension? Thanks!

[@rachelisknitting]

For me it’s I invaluable and absolutely helps with me tension!

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

@@rachelisknitting thanks! I may try using one. My tension can be very uneven sometimes.

[@EllaLeigh]

Love it and love you!! You’re also making me feel better about trying a colorwork sweater (that also has steeking 🫣)

[@rachelisknitting]

You got this!
