Firstly, I love the Lila sweater so far!! The colour, the wave pattern in front and you are a very talented knitter, I don't see anything wrong with the stitches! I am still dreaming to be able to knit like that. So far, I can't even master a simple garter and stockinette stitch. There is always a missing count and uneven tension.
I think it is the concurrence of me loving beautiful designs and me being a slow crafter.
Hehe.. you are not alone @neumannsalva! I still have 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, half made projects from years ago!! The good thing for me is that I do not live in a place with 4 seasons.. so whatever it is that I crochet or knit or sew does not follow any season BUT it follows a season that could potentially be a vacation destination :D. So, I have scarves and beanie hats waiting to be completed, hopefully in time for my next vacation in a cold country which may not be any time soon :D Oh... but I find that if you make something for a reason that has to be completed in time, e.g. for Christmas gifts or birthdays, you can certainly do it on time (or maybe cutting it really close like Project Runway :D). I guess it goes back to how much we need it to be done? If it is something for ourselves, usually it won't happen that fast but if it is for someone else with a specific dateline, we can do it! :)
Some needlework artists are just so quick with their fingers. Sigh...
Good to hear Iam not alone. And I like your explanation with us simply loving beautiful things. And the missing season sound very practical for clothes :-) As written above I feel like I am always a step behind the weather.
If you ever want to start knitting more, the lila sweater is not too complicated, because the body has no shaping. The lace pattern is also on the easy side. I would say advanced beginner. Perhaps you just need somebody who can show you the technique better, it is so much easier to learn from a person.
But as crochet is also so beautiful there is no real need (for knitting) <3 With the knitting speed: I have already told @kimmac there is a designer and yarn shop owner from Scotland who not only makes beautiful yarn and knitted clothes. There is also a video which shows her knitting.... wowoooooow I first thought it is on fast forward, but no, she knits at an crazy speed. Sadly, not me. I am on the slower side.
