Wow ... I did not even kniw that there was a name (UFO) for unfinished knitting projects! I inherited that from my Grandma😂 .. She was actually a teacher for handcrafts and loved knew patterns. But did not finish most of them, tried out knew patterns. With me it is a bit different: I love trying out knew wool which I discovered and fell in love with in a yarn shop. ❤😂
Thanks Bethany for sharing 😊 let me encourage you to keep going with your freelance sweater. You can do it! I myself can't write a pattern well and I have done tutorials making things.😊
Your whooville sweater would look nice in seed stitch. It will break up the stripes. As an alternate, I would make the rocket t withe alternating cream colored stripes.
What is the sweater your wearing? That color is so beautiful and looks great on you!😊 The pattern is so delicate, I would love to know the pattern and yarn used😊 Blessings to you and your family!!😊🌸😊
I watched when you first started the mohair sweater and thought it looked gorgeous so I'd definitely have voted for you to finish it and gift it (or donate or sell) to someone who would 🧡 it. Anyway that alpaca yarn is lovely and suits you so, please use it - perhaps for a simple vest or short-sleved top or a small wispy scarf? You can alternate taking variegated yarn from both ends of the ball so you reduce the striping. The "chocolate" colour also really looks great on you. Worth finishing. BTW, not related but your hair looks fabulous.
Finish that sweater! Its such a lovely color. My goal is to get my several WIPs finished and then only have 1 crochet project, 1 easy knit project and one knit project with more thinking required at one time.
Great video as always, it always feels so good to get rid of a few lingering projects! I couldn't finish cardigans either until I started making them in the round and steeking. I don't know why as I don't mind purling but maybe it was just reaching an end point (end of row) so often but feeling like I wasn't getting anywhere with each one. For the colour stripes I also had a yarn with long colour repeats which I only realized after caking it. I ended up mixing the stripes by using two balls and starting on opposite colours then helical knitting, resulting in microstripes that blended together better for me. Maybe that would work with your pink/grey sweater?
The last one feels like we are gonna see it in next years UFO video x) In regards of cardigans, mabe steeking would help ? Or a more involving texture, llike the penny pattern from petiteknit, or lace details ? And the chocolate kntit looks sooooo good please let us know if you pick it back up !
I know you are more of a knitter, but maybe that beautiful mohair/fluffy yarn might be fun in a crochet garment? Since the crochet stitches might pool the dye more vs stripe it? Just an idea since it is such a fun and pretty yarn and I know you love working through your stash!!!! :)))))))))))))))
The shawl pattern might be “The Shift” by Andrea Mowry? I bought that pattern too and the Spin Cycle yarn to make it and didn’t get past the first few instructions (sigh). I enjoy your videos!
I and knitting cardigans were no match, but KUTOVAKIKA patterns/ book made me make them . And on RUclips you can knit togheter with her tutorials so you feel not alone on the proces . Xxx
Just a thought, Bethany - haven’t been watching you for very long so I don’t know if you’re into color work? However, you might be more successful in getting a cardigan by knitting a color work in the round and then steeking it. It sounds like you have more motivation for knitting in the round, so this might be a way to get yourself a cardigan…! As I said, just a thought. Take care!
I think that we are all the same… at least I was/am The knitter first time pregnant: yay I need so many cardis as I can CO during this pregnancy, it will definitely will help me during breastfeeding! 9 mos later: Nope, lets pull up that pullover 😂. I would say, Gurl, if you werent into cardis before pregnancy, the belly would not change your preference what to knit 😅
Ooh definitely finish the chocolate jumper!! It’s gorgeous!! 🤎
Thank you! I just frogged five projects and I feel so much lighter. Now I can focus on the projects on my needles that bring me joy.

I believe she’s wearing a ranunculus. I remember her talking about this knit in a previous podcast

Bethany i can’t find the Clay cardigan pattern, can you put up a link and report sizing? thanks! love your videos!
It’s the Inclinations shawl. Do it!!! It’s one of my favorite shawls and I love shawls with small kids. Instant blanket!
And I'm pretty sure the yarn is Manos Del Uruguay Feliz!
will truly buy your yarn used for the no frills sweater - I love that combo so much!

the shawll pattern is the inclination shawll!!
Consider wearing garments made of baby alpaca, they are beautiful and last a long time.
I found a 95% done skirt that got put away 11 years ago and actually finished it off earlier this year.
The chocolate sweater is too pretty to frog, seam the edges and stuff it with pillow filling and gift it to your cat LOL
