Completed Sweaters for the SO. First contribution to the group. :)

[u/gfy2027]

Contribution to the group since I'm new here. We moved to the Great Lakes area recently so we needed some warmer clothing. I made 2 sweaters for the hubs so far. The first is from Viking Knits by Lasse Matburg. Pattern name "The Viking". Made with KnitPicks Swish Bulky in Marine Heather colorway. The second is "Neo's sweater" by Suss Cousins in her book "Hollywood Knits". This is made with the Sinfonia cotton yarn in colorway "Ladrillo (brick).

Wow, I love the cables on the sleeves for the first one!

It’s hard to tell from these pictures, but I think you may be twisting your stitches? Twistfaq

You mentioned that word!: lots of people want to know about twisted stitches and here is a great post for reference https://www.reddit.com/r/knitting/comments/188kxwk/new_knitters_your_stitches_are_probably_twisted/

Looks really nice!

My husband wants me to knit a sweater for him but I'm scared about the sweater curse.

Thank you! I don't know about any curses, sweater or otherwise. Just take careful measurements and you'll be ok. :)

The colors are great! How does he like the cotton?

[u/gfy2027 → u/MaxTheWonder]

He loves it! This one is a bit lighter weight for autumn. I have another one in the same yarn on the needles right now he likes it so much.

And the first friggin comment I get is "ur sTiTch3s r Tw1st3d". No, they're not. Blocked the account. Get bent.
