Working on my first colourwork sweater - sheepish little one - for my sheep obsessed boy! First time doing colour work so I’d love some pointers on how I can do better.
I did this using magic loop!
Not super happy with how the single white specks look.
Bonus question - the greens and black are acrylic while the white tweedy bits are 100% wool. Do I steam or wet block?
Thank you!!
I always do my small circumference on magic loop and don’t have an issue with laddering now that I’ve figured out my tension. Trouble is I am using lion brand Ferris wheel which is a very loosely plied acrylic yarn so if I tensioned it to avoid the laddering it would snap. It is also a NIGHTMARE to frog so I simple don’t want to 🤣 andddd because it’s a acrylic I can’t really wet block it and hope for the best like I do with socks. what can I do?
Pic 1 is it slightly pulled apart, pic 2 is it laying flat on my lap
It’s for my friend who is allergic to wool. I never use acrylic so it’s definitely been a learning curve!
I do all my small circumference on magic loop! I usually don’t have an issue but I am using lion brand Ferris wheel for this project and it snaps if you tension it to much 🤦🏼♀️ I also don’t want to frog back and start again because frogging it is a nightmare.
1st pic is it slightly stretched, 2nd is it relaxed on my lap.
Is there a way I can fix it without frogging? I can’t even really block it because it’s acrylic 😮💨
