Calling all the 2 project 'fools'

8h • MYAL 2026

Hello to everyone making two projects, having been inspired by their yarn stashes to double the fun!

My Jumper 1 is up to date, with the addition of a third mosaic knitting band at the bottom. There's more colourwork repeats because I'm using finer yarns and smaller needles. I'm waiting for the sleeves before finally settling on the bands, possibly a double colour if there's enough yarn.

Jumper 2 is at the start of colourwork chart IV, with armholes divided just before the second texture section. It's going to require some careful blocking to improve the evenness of the yarns. I've got some black silk/merino fingering that I'll hold double to do the edgings. That should hopefully bring out the inky blue of cC.

It's been quite a struggle to catch up with two projects after the problems and restarts on both at the beginning, and there have definitely been a few late nights and a lot of watching the Winter Olympics and cricket T20 World Cup. I'm a great fan of the curling and the Zimbabwe cricket team (who knocked Australia out!).

How are all of you getting on? Please do check in, I know there's quite a lot of you, over 20, out there in knitty world!
