After seemingly ages of having this knit languishing on my needles, I’ve finished my Sea Glass Tee by Wool and Pine! I feel bad. What should have been a quick knit (judging by the start and end dates on other’s projects in Ravelry) took me almost a year. I ran out of steam once I spit for the armholes and started my way down. However, after buckling down (and bringing it to Maine with me so that I’d have to knit on it if I wanted to knit at all) I finished it! I didn’t add any length to the sleeves, so they’re just cap sleeves but it fits pretty well. I used mainly sock yarn scraps, with a little bit of KnitPicks Palette. The Palette disappointed me, though. I hadn’t even finished knitting the body when it broke in several places in the yoke. Never a bad time to learn duplicate stitch. Luckily, the colors are so busy on this sweater that I can do a beginner’s job on the duplicate stitches and you can’t really tell.
The way the pattern is written you change out both yarns every row using the magic knot technique, but I did it every couple of rows (and once I got past the yoke didn’t switch out yarns for inches at a time). The great thing about Wool and Pine’s patterns is that they come with multiple videos for techniques, etc., such as the Sea Glass Tee pattern having a video for the magic knot (a method for joining colors without weaving in ends).
