My mother is back from the #hospital, doctors don't want her to be home alone for a bit. So I'm here at her house as my brother is working today. I've cleaned the #kitchen & put away her #XMas decorations (pew, no goblins).

I mean, that #microwave was yucky, my spouse thinks I have a dirty oven. My brother lives here.

Plus the TV is on all day! I guess it undeafens awkward silences.

Dear knitters of Mastodon,

Many years ago, I started this top-down circular yoke stranded colourwork jumper, hoping to knit my own ugly Christmas jumper, using a pattern by Drops (ravelry.com/patterns/library/1), using DK-weight Drops Karisma yarn (ravelry.com/yarns/library/garn), knitting on 4mm needles.

I stopped knitting because I made a mistake and couldn't face the frogging.

Now I want to frog the whole thing and start over, in part because I feel like my stranded colourwork skills are much better now.

I am wondering if I should find a different pattern? Maybe I don't want the jumper to be "ugly" anymore, so it would be a bit more wearable? Don't know if ugliness vibes are completely avoidable, given the colourways that I have.

QUESTION: do you have any suggestions for your favourite circular yoke stranded colourwork jumper patterns that might suit the yarn that I have (MC: 500 grams / 1000 m; CC: 100 grams / 200 m)?

I never actually completed a circular yoke, or a stranded colourwork jumper, so maybe something that has some good alternation between the colours would be best, just in case I don't manage a good tension on longer floats.
