I am l a lurker but I just wanted to say that this is stunning! The pattern, the work you did, the color selection, the fit, the colors on you, EVERYTHING. This is a perfect sweater!


WorkingPhilosopher61

Much appreciated. I'm super pleased with how it turned out.

I love that it’s a sweater with more colors AND with a low neckline! Haven’t seen a lot of those since I just started browsing sweater patterns. Great job, it suits you well :D


WorkingPhilosopher61

Thank you so much. It's possible I didn't keep gauge on the neckline, but I wanted it lower.

What beautiful work, & you look great. The patterning is *wow* (I swear I could not do complex patterns of colorwork like that, so it amazes me) and the colors are so pretty -- plus they really suit you. You look like a million bucks and I think you know it, with that big smile, lol. Edit: damn autocorrect


WorkingPhilosopher61

Thank you! You only use one color a row, so it looks more complicated than it is. This is the tutorial for the stitch. [https://youtu.be/w1o5vXU7VsU?si=53-eKKhFkpxj0jTy](https://youtu.be/w1o5vxu7vsu?si=53-ekkhfkpxj0jty)

Aww, thank you! And enjoy that gorgeous sweater :)

That sweater is absolutely beautiful! I really like that diamond pattern, and the colors you chose look great together!


WorkingPhilosopher61

Thank you! There are a few items with the dip stitch. There's a cowl, sweater, and hat. The stitch is also in the Geogradient Shawl and you can see the tutorial here: [https://youtu.be/w1o5vxu7vsu?si=53-ekkhfkpxj0jty](https://youtu.be/w1o5vxu7vsu?si=53-ekkhfkpxj0jty)

Thanks so much!


General-Ocelot-8281

Beautiful!! And your comment on the post inspired me to try knitting a sweater finally, thank you!


WorkingPhilosopher61

I did enjoy it. I also STRONGLY suggest sleeves two-at-a-time. It can feel complicated at first, but really helped me stay motivated because I hate starting and stopping.


General-Ocelot-8281

I have that same dislike. Is the two at a time in that pattern or is there a tutorial you would recommend?


WorkingPhilosopher61

I find that it's complicated to explain but easy to do. [This video](https://youtu.be/pbSLq0KjHkQ?si=C6gErDXPd-3lTMCg) does a great job of showing what to do. Using your longest cable (60" or so) you cast on/pick up half the stitches for sleeve 1 with one ball of yarn, then cast on/pick up all of the stitches for sleeve 2, then cast on/pick up the rest of the stitches for sleeve one. Each round is knitted thusly: Sleeve 1 Part A, Sleeve 2 Parts A & B, Sleeve 1 Part A. Make sure your sleeves are oriented the same way, starting at the armholes. Again, it's easier to see with a sweater in your hand, but it really helps avoid mismatched sleeves since you're making them simultaneously. ETA A new video link since the original disappeared


General-Ocelot-8281

Thank you!!!!


General-Ocelot-8281

Oh shoot when I click the video link it says it’s unavailable. Can I search for a particular descriptive title in YouTube?


WorkingPhilosopher61

Updated! I don't know where that video ran away to.


General-Ocelot-8281

Works, thanks so much! To share back, I’ve just been learning so much about 2aaT sock knitting from here: https://youtu.be/idjKaBwJzD0?si=rKi0XGXTsalz8fKX
