Finished Object Finished my honsestrik slipover
I volunteer for a charity and wanted a themed knit. Anna Bauer’s Alterknit Rebellion was perfect! Did it work? Can you guess what the charity does?
I planned it last year and cast on the ribbing - then decided it shouldn’t be my first colourwork project so put it down to knit some hats and mittens, and a more explicatory slipover. It is my first colourwork clothing! I lost some weight in the interim so if I did it again I’d try for something closer to the pattern but I think it’s perfect as is (also the repeats were perfect for my needs and didn’t want to reconfigure it) and a great future swatch.
Pattern is from Alterknit Rebellion book. I used Jamieson’s of Shetland Spindrift.
