Pattern: Home Cardigan by Caidree

Yarn: Mainstays cotton from Walmart (gift from my mom) held together with Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread

Knitting the ‘fancy’ (DBDA) Jumper

I love the jumper that Edwin wears in DBDA when he plans to confess, I thought I’d try recreate it!

The main feature is the shawl collar. The one in the pattern I’m following will be too big, so I will mind how large the collar is getting! Also in the pattern I believe it is ribbed, which I will be ignoring.

I’m trying to keep to pattern which means knitting flat even though it would be soo easy to do in the round.

The yarn is so nice! It’s a British wool blend (bought with a work voucher, I do NOT have Rowan money). My yarn may be more green than the inspo but that’s fine.

If anyone has made a shawl collar like this before I’d be interest to hear your experience with it.

If you haven’t watched the show it’s the jumper the lad on the left is wearing!

my favorite coworker told me the scenario she thinks of to fall asleep is she stumbles upon a baby sheep and has to raise it and it grows up and she has to shear it and she says she envisions shearing it so carefully that she always falls asleep at that part

*rocking back and forth* it’ll look better after I block it it’ll look better after I block it it’ll look better after I block it it’ll look better after I block it it’ll look better after I block it it’ll look better after I block it it’ll look better after I block it

A quick dump of everything I managed to knit in 2024! It felt like I didn’t accomplish much - but seeing it in one place is very encouraging 💜

this is a really strange request but im looking for someone willing to do a trade! I would love a medium-large wicker/willow woven basket i can use for firewood beside my stove. If anyone (Europe based! I’m in Ireland) makes them and wants to trade for something handknit or crochet feel free to reach out!

love the colour!!

I'm off work today which means I've been knitting all day

Which means my wrists are sore... BUT I'm making amazing progress on my Auguste sweater, will probably be able to cast off the main body and start the sleeves tomorrow
