Gray thing #1 is my just finished sweater, which took about four months to knit. The most challenging and time consuming part of this knit was the short rows, but once I got past them, it was smooth knitting. The instructions are great and clear, it was my brain that was the issue here.

This project felt just outside of my current knitting skill set, but it happened and I think I’m ready for the cardigan version. And yes, it’s just as squishy as it looks.

Gray thing #2 is this flight suit. The color I chose leans a little janitorial, but when it’s splattered in clay it leans artist. The fabric does wear a little heavy and I definitely overheat if I’m moving around a lot, but the details on this pattern are jumpsuit perfection.

And gray thing #3 is a sweatshirt I made entirely for this single quilt block. Okay, I already had the french terry and rib knit, but I was inspired to sew it up once I had the idea of slapping the quilt block on it. The block was made out of linen scraps and was very shifty, so I fused some knit stay tape to the turned under edges and had to use a sheet of tracing paper to stitch it onto the french terry to keep the fabric from stretching out.
PATTERN: Dale Sweatshirt by Daisy Chain Patterns
FABRIC: ‘Mushroom’ french terry and matching rib knit from ISee Fabrics
SIZE: M
Lovely things! And GRAY!!! Once in a class about color, working with color cards, the teacher started by asking us to pull all the gray tones saying “gray is dangerous.” While I think she meant its effect on other colors? I always loved that description – and gray ever since. LOL Off to look up the sweater pattern – it is stunning, classic and practical.
Everything looks great but your Mercer is especially well done and well fitted.
