It's chilly today in Central Illinois, and I have the last of my Summer Sweaters finished, blocked and I'm hoping to get a wearing out of it before I pack it away.
The final installment for Summer 2020 is the short sleeve version of Ranunculus. I lengthened mine, added a rib, sleeves plus did some modifications on the body to have a bit more ease as I went towards the hip.
The yarn is from Cake Wool in the Captain Phil color way (of the Deadliest Catch, Captain Phil). It was my first time using a slub yarn.
I had been a bit on the fence with it, because of a couple of spots around the neck cast on that wormed, but I am thinking now it was operator error and not a fault of the yarn.
After wearing it a bit today, I am definitely putting both the slub and the fingering weight yarn back on my future knitting list. It felt yummy to wear it and I think maybe a long sleeve sweater might be in my future.
