HEY GUESS WHAT’S FINALLY FINISHED!!!

I got this done just in time for Ep 9 and I am so, so happy with how it turned out! It took a lot of work and a couple of reknits but it was absolutely worth it in the end. I love the colors, I love the pattern, I love how crisp the motifs are, I love the little pops of color from the lightsabers, and I love how it’s the perfect balance between fitted and relaxed. (And it’s SO WARM, I want to live in it for the rest of winter.)

Swipe to see a closeup of the sleeve pattern and a modeled shot! (Sorry for the background clutter, I’ve hit the frenzy stage of pre-holiday travel.) The lightsabers really are that bright, I picked the most vibrant and saturated colors in my scrap box.

PATTERN: Rebel Alliance Sweater (body) and Star Wars Sweater (sleeves) by the incredibly talented @knatalieknits

YARN: Knitpicks Wool of the Andes worsted in Lava Heather (10 skeins) and Oyster Heather (2.5 skeins), plus scraps for the ‘sabers

NEEDLES: US 3 (ribbing), US 6 (stockinette), and US 7 (colorwork)

MODS: Combined pattern charts because I wanted the crossed 'sabers and fleck-and-swirl pattern from one pattern with the Rebel crest and X-Wings from the other. Mirrored the direction of the saber crosses on the sleeves. Charted my own version of the Jedi Order starbird crest and swapped it out for the Imperial cog. Lengthened the body to my own tastes.
