Since finishing Gardengate earlier this year I’ve been wanting to start a new sweater. But as my previous posts have said, life has been overwhelmingly crazy. And I’m still after 30 years, trying to figure out how to stop the crazy. I know I need to start saying no to things and I’m slowly doing that but not quick enough. Anyway, that’s a whole different post. After going through my 2 knitting project bins, I put the Soldotna at the top of my WIP list and started shortly after pulling it out.

I do not play with it every day. I have 3 knitting WIPs and I’ve been alternating them from day to day. The fingerless mitts is the furthest along as for a short while, it was my only project I worked on and it was my daily knit. But it’s not a fun knit and it was just something to do while I figured out next knitting steps. It is also my travel knit as its small and portable. The third project is my cozy mini blanket. I’ll talk more about that on another post.

This is where I’m at currently, I’ll be starting the yoke when I pull it out to work on next. I can’t wait to start the colorwork as it’s my favorite part.

Yarn: Berroco Ultra Wool purchased when my LYS closed in Dec. 2019. The brown is color 33115.

Cheers! Knit on my friends.
