Hey… So, this happened tonight. It’s blocking right now, buttons tomorrow, then a special photo session. The peen cardigan, she is done!
Shetland ponies wearing Shetland sweaters on the Shetland Isles…
*dies*
I’m ONE skein of yarn short of finishing the peen cardigan! The yarn is now discontinued (damn you, Knit Picks, DAMN YOU).
Help? If anyone has one skeins of Knit Picks Telemark in Garnet Heather, I’d be eternally grateful. Spread the word, share this with your yarn friends, I need this yarn! There’s only one sleeve left to knit!
Where would you wear it?

Progress
Don’t worry there will be more seamen swirls. It was just taking forever juggling three colors in one row during the peen chart. So, I’ll be adding the swirls, with duplicate stitch (kind of embroidery for the non-fiber friends reading), after the body is finished. Two more peen rows and the body will be finished, then sleeves.
This is a pattern called ‘My Favourite Things’ and it’s basically a customizable infinity tube scarf in which you make colorwork blocks of things you love — animals, shapes, places, etc. I am absolutely in love with this idea and I’m putting this on my list of things to make this year.
i kind of adore this idea.

In case any of you had doubts… Here’s progress of my penis sweater, working through my own design as I go.
Tech: In the round, steeking to make it a cardigan, 100% wool. I’ll give you guys the background on this piece once it’s finished, but for now, enjoy this preview.
