5 Day Sweater Challenge: Done ✔️

Finished my circular knitting machine sweater today! 🧶

All of the tubes were knitted on the Addi King Size CKM.

The pattern comes from the 5 Day Sweater Challenge, but I mixed some of the options together and added a little personalization. I divided the bodice from the sleeves to break up the line so it wouldn’t look like one long tube across the front, and then added a hood to finish it off.

I originally planned to use the variegated yarn for the entire sweater, but I greatly underestimated how much yarn I would need 🫨😵‍💫🤪. To make matters even more interesting, I had already used some of it to make a hat before starting the sweater! In the end, there still wouldn’t have been enough yarn to complete the sweater anyway, so I searched on Amazon and found a yarn that paired nicely with the variegated yarn. Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a picture of the yarn I ordered, so I took a screenshot of the Amazon listing.

The happy result is a two-tone sweater and a matching hat 🥰😁

I’m really happy with how the hood and the color transition turned out.

And this truly was a sweater challenge! I frogged quite a bit, re-did several tubes, and finally mastered the blanket stitch along the way. 🏆🎉

Each project is helping me grow more confident using my Addi King Size CKM, and that feels like a big win. 😁🤪🥰
