The Maxfield Saga Continues

So, my Maxfield has taken me ages, and if you have been reading my blog you've seen pictures of it.

I do love this sweater. I think Amy Christoffers is amazing and her brand Savory Knitting has so many patterns I want to make. This sweater hasn't taken me ages as it's difficult or because there is just a lot of knitting. It's more because I cannot decide how I want it to look.

I was stash busting and ended up buying as much yarn as I'm using up, so that wasn't as successful as I had hoped. So this was my first colour play, trying to decide how to work this sweater without the variegated yarn. Navy, Yellow, Gold and Blue.

I found that the yellow and the gold was a bit much. 

So I decided on this stripe, dropping the yellow out entirely and then began the body to reflect that. 

Once the body was done I thought this front panel was too busy and wasn't entirely happy with this. It sat for a few days as I reflected on what to do. The body I liked, but the fronts needed some changing. 

So I swatched again last night. 

Which do you think I chose?

So this is the one I chose! I love that it reflects the stripes without being busy or as chunky as the body stripes. Now just wish me luck in not changing my mind AGAIN! 

Keepin' me warm

I think two years ago my knitting obsession took over. But then it was all about slippers. Then mittens.

Now. Sweaters!

Here are a few of my "Dreaming about making" that are making my short list!

This one is the Schoodic Cardigan from Kelbourne Wollens. Looking at their list of patterns I've actually had a few in my favourites for a while! 

Then there's the Agnes Pullover from the latest issue of Knitscene. So cute! There's always something in that magazine that I absolutely love! 

Houndstooth anyone?! This one is by Claire Montgomerie from an old issue of Yarn Forward. I would want to shorten it though, as it's more of a coat length than a work-suitable cardi! 

And any by Alexis Winslow would be great! 

This one is the Vera cardigan! 

SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!!!  If you have any opinions on which I should make first lemme know! I need help choosing!!!!
