Thoughts: It looks like a simple, basic sweater for the transition months or a top layer of an outfit. I'm not sure if I would knit it, personally, but it's cute.

Thoughts: I love the chevron that makes it look like a feather. I would knit this over the Sophie scarf because of its unique look.
Mystery KAL, shawl/wrap. Colorwork but no brioche or stranded colorwork
Fingering weight, 24s x 46r in garter stitch, 3.75mm needles
Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply (4 skeins)
1463m, one size
80 projects in 1 month
9.99 USD
Thoughts: There's not much to say about this, but I hope the KAL participants are having fun! I'd like to see how it turns out, but I'm not motivated to knit a mystery shawl.
Pullover sweater, striped stockinette drop shoulder, turtle neck, short rows
Worsted weight, 18s x 30r, 3.75-4.5mm needles
Ritual Dyes Elder (6 to 11 skeins)
982-1605m, sizes 44.5 - 185.5 cm
41 projects in 1 month
9.00 USD
Thoughts: I like the shaping around the neck, but I'm not sure if I like the stripes and how they end up with the drop shoulder construction. That's just my personal preference, though. I would knit this with a variegated yarn to have a more subtle striping feel, I think.
Pullover sweater, 2 colors of colorwork on stockinette. i-cord neckband, 3 sections of colorwork in a botanical pattern.
Aran + lace = bulky weight, 14s x 18r, 7.0+6.0mm needles
Hobbii Alpaca Blaze (3-4 skeins) Hobbii Friends Wool (7-10 skeins) Mayflower Montreal (2-3 skeins)
700-1000m, sizes S-XXL
0 projects (created yesterday)
4.00 EUR
Thoughts: This is a really cute pattern. I wouldn't be intimidated by the colorwork. It looks "potato chippy" with the 3 sections of colorwork and the stockinette respite in between. I would consider knitting this.
