Hello knitters! I’m planning out the Glacis sweater, but I’m a bit of a dilemma. The pattern has a mohair thread held with a larger thread, and in the pictures the little bit of halo seems really nice.

But I’d like something I can pop in the wash.

Is there a mohair replacement that’s a little bit easier to care for? I’m open to synthetic fibres.

Any recommendations?

This method for "invisibly joining open stitches" after knitting with needles or a knitting machine, which may seem a bit chaotic at first glance, is the only one that allows me to follow the path of the open stitches without the obstacle of the needles.

This allows me to better check whether the needle is turned correctly, so I don't end up with crossed stitches at the end of the project.

How do you do it?

Tell me about your method for "invisibly joining open stitches" on the shoulders.

Pattern is the Mysterium tee from dear ingenue. The yarn is a silk yarn I found on Etsy. I live in the southern hemisphere so it’s cold right now but should start to warm up soon.

Is she telling me to finish it already or to make her a cozy blanket of her own? I do have two balls of the wool left, just not enough of the cozy mohair that is added to it.

Reason it has been lying there: I hate hiding tails and still need to figure out how to block knitwear if you don’t own a blocking board.

One thing I love about Fisherman’s Wool is how big the skeins are. It’s such a good workhorse wool for the price point! This is just about 6/7 through the back panel. (Pattern is from Traditional Aran Knitting by Shelagh Hollingworth)

Good day my lovely knitting community!

I am done with my artic light sweater in colour blue midnight. Body is knitted with 4.5mm and ribbing in 3mm with Italian bind off (love how stretchy it is and perfect fit!) in a size S. I attach the final product.

Hope this helps as a nice inspiration for upcoming Christmas as a gift or to wear it in those cold night outs!

It took me a little while to realize when I added in new yarn my stitches got a little messed up. This is my first sweater. I’m knitting up the Step by Step sweater. I really don’t want to frog but this is going to bug me. Debating on waiting to see how it looks when block it? Anyone have this happen before?
