cimoreneThese are the two sweaters Wax finished for me recently!
The blue one is the replacement for the peacock blue sweater that got arrested at croptop stage, obviously, pattern Tsubaki by Hiroko Fukatsu, and it's made in Sandnes Garn Merinoull. The gray one is the pattern Minori by Rievive in natural unbleached Finnish sheep's wool, Rintalan Tila Iivari from the rare Kainuunharmas breed.
I got a packet of emergency wool right after I decided to frog the hood on the purple hoodie, so it arrived after it was finished, but the color match is so exact that I actually probably COULD use it to add a hood, if only I could make the hood the right size, that is. I still didn't have the heart for it though. I have another venerable sweater jacket that's been worn for years and years that I want to finally fix because it's so close to perfect: replace the zipper (too long), reblock it and add a new shorter zipper or buttons instead, and frog an ill-fitting collar to replace it with a hood.
I also have a half-finished hat that I didn't order enough yarn for, and a sock I started when I ran out of hat because the extra skeins for the remaking project hadn't arrived yet. (I ordered Addi Crasy Trio needles, the flexible "circular needle" sock needles - it's three needles with a flexy middle and shorter tips that you use instead of a set of sock needles and yeah, I really do like them better.)
And then I ordered a big batch of black tweed for a cardigan with money my parents sent for my birthday. That hasn't arrived yet, but I have plenty to do in the meanwhile anyway.
