i'm so happy to be done knitting this sweater because yay sweater, yay fruits of my labor! but also because as someone who knits almost exclusively at night, black yarn was the wrong choice

@gigglehurtz this one took me the better part of a year, but mostly because i knit the whole body on the wrong size needles and had to restart...
@molly0xfff
Love, the 1.)Color and 2.)the texture. Looks marvelous! 👍️
Great job! Just is time for colder weather.
Will you try it on before blocking?
immediately cast on a new project in this color because i have learned absolutely nothing
@molly0xfff gorgeous yarn! Can we have a photo of the black finished object please??
@LiftedLorax oh i could’ve sworn i posted it! https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/117603482765602676
@molly0xfff Time to get a really nice lamp to knit by.
@molly0xfff
I figured out I needed glasses that way a while back! I was having trouble knitting during the day, though. A lace shawl in midnight blue 🙄
@molly0xfff next challenge: blindfolded knitting
@molly0xfff ever seen those little lamps you wear around your neck? was a game changer for me; now I see properly what I am doing/knitting, and no one has to spend the evening under a bright work lamp anymore. Plus is lamp color in pink so it cannot easily hide in a corner 🙃
@molly0xfff I know somebody who knits with a headlamp on.
@bamfingle I put one on when I was picking up stitches for the neckline!
@molly0xfff I also do crafts stuff at night, and I am using these little solar lamps to let me see what I doing :'D actually I am schlepping mine around my place like Linus does his blanket

@molly0xfff whatever aesthetic choices we make in our hobbies, we rarely consider them in the light of practicality 😆
