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.

While digitizing old 8mm family films I of course saw lots of #Xmas and birthday footage. One thing I saw in the films that was neat was an old mystery prize ball that probably came from The Nut Tree. It's lots of little prizes wrapped up with many colors of crepe paper streamers. I made my own mystery prize balls with personalized prizes appropriate for the people opening them, with extra nice things in the very center.

My dad has unwrapped several layers revealing good things like sudoku puzzles, root-beer candy, bandaid, dog treat. The very center was a #Nintendo #Switch game.
