Three on Thursday: Sweater Planning

I'm joining with Carole and friends this week for Three on Thursday with three sweaters I'd like to knit soon-ish. I know many of you are still dealing with record heat and probably don't want to think about covering yourself in wool just yet, but I've already noticed that the days are getting shorter, and that means that fall isn't that far away. If I want to have new sweaters to wear when the weather is suitable for them, I need to get started soon.

The first of the three sweaters, shouldn't be a surprise because I've been spinning for it for a while now. It's the Shifty pullover (Ravelry link) by Andrea Mowry.

I'm planning to start this one just as soon as the spinning is done, which I'm hoping will be within a week or two. I'm thinking of this as my Rhinebeck sweater, whether or not Rhinebeck ends up happening. It's on as of right now, but with the Delta COVID variant wreaking havoc, you never know what will happen.

The second sweater is one I've had my eye on while it was in testing and even bought in the presale before it went live. It's Recalibrate (Ravelry link) by Shana Cohen. 

This top is knit mostly sideways, with some vertical garter panels, and it looks like it would be great for smaller amounts of handspun that might not be enough for a sweater on their own but would be enough if combined with other skeins.

Finally, there's Garland (Ravelry link) by Stephanie Lotven:

This actually a two-fer because there's a matching girl's version that I also got so that Rainbow and I could have coordinating sweaters (not matching, of course -- she's way too mature for the Mommy and Me look now!). We haven't planned too far ahead, but we've discussed potentially doing them in a neutral shade that would be the same and then using some multicolor handspun for the colorwork. 

Am I the only one already thinking about sweaters? I hope not! Have a great end to your week and see you back here on Sunday for a handspun update!
