After 9 months of work, my Oseberg tapestry sweater is complete!

This was my first sweater knitted in the round, first stranded colourwork project, and my first time steeking. It was definitely my most challenging project so far, and a lot of learning and research was involved. I used a colourwork chart created by the very talented Molly Gifford, which is available for free on Ravelry

For reference, this is one of the fragments uncovered from the gravesite:

Some scholars think that the Oseberg tapestry includes the earliest known artistic depiction of Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn. So I added them to the sleeves as a little Easter egg.

Amber Waves Motif, a free crochet stitch pattern designed by Pendleton Artistry on Ravelry.

"This motif makes a lovely wheat stalk just begging to adorn your next fall project. It lends itself so well to blankets, accent pillows, shawl designs, hats, sweaters, socks, and the single stalk can even be used to create an autumn wristlet design."

Btw don't believe any Etsy ad or things trying to sell this pattern to you. It's been free since the 90s. It's very simple, just double crochet and color changes. Be sure to weave in ends as you go unlike me

I noticed the way back machine link doesn’t play well with mobile so I hunted for the pattern online and found another version from this blog: https://seeloveshare.it/single-post/community-shares-cats-afghan/?amp=1

I’ll also attach the scans they have from the original publication in Hooked on Crochet Magazine from 1997 the blog mentions.

Reposting for the knitblr crowd. Finished my Goldenfern sweater! It took me a whole semester, mostly because I hurt my wrist and couldn't knit for 6+ weeks, then I had to frog because i forgot to alternate skeins and it was obvious. And THEN I had to force myself to stop knitting during dead week and finals. But once I got home after my last final exam, I finished the sweater an hour later.

Pattern is Goldenfern by Jennifer Steingass, yarn is Friendly Products Variations Fingering, 75/25 superwash merino and nylon in Burnt Amber and Sunflower Topaz.

This is quantum physics in theory (incomprehensible unless you're a hardore math simp) but in practice it is Black Magic (you have to sell your soul and sabity in order to perform it).
