Hopefully today my Linho pullover will be dry and I can get some outside pictures.
Here’s what it looked like when it was still wet last night. The lighting in this house is just awful. This is what it looked like on the blocking mat.
It looks gray but it’s blue. As much dye that came out in the water, I’m surprised it isn’t gray.
Even my nails are blue from getting the sweater out of the water and squeezing out the excess water.
The yarn is Nerd Girl Winning. It’s silk/linen and I know that takes dye differently than wool (or maybe just doesn’t take dye!). I’ll be anxious to see if the sweater is lighter compared to the leftover yarn that wasn’t soaked.
As always, I’m glad to have this one done and I’ll get better photos when I get the last scarf soaked, blocked and dried so I can carry the dress form outside once and get photos of two projects.

This is beautiful, wish I was as fast as you and could knit like you!

That’s a sweater you’ve made that I really like. If I knitted, I would try to make this one. I hope it’s still blue!
