Another BIG Yarn Haul! 🧶 2 New Cast-Ons & Knitting Surprises | Knitting Podcast

Welcome back to Melissa Knits for Fun, where fun meets fashion in every stitch! 🧶 This week, we’re catching up on lots of knitting projects, including 2 new cast-ons, a new test knit, multiple works in progress, and a sweater that’s just ONE sleeve away from being finished! And yes, there’s another BIG yarn haul to share! I’ve been busy swatching, too! I’ll show you a swatch for my newest test knit, plus a completely different yarn combination that I never would have thought to put together. Another test knitter mentioned the combination, I decided to try it, and I absolutely LOVE the result! In fact, I’m going to have two different colors of this combination. I could also use a little help from my knitting friends this week! 🧶 What would you knit at a gauge of 15 stitches to 4 inches? I’d love your sweater pattern suggestions. 🧶 Which of two sweater patterns should I knit with my Hey Mama Wolf Béara yarn? Help me make the decision! There’s plenty of yarn chat, knitting inspiration, new projects, and a look at what’s happening on my needles.
