#patterned sweater

[scooberella]

i've made my own picture patterns before but this is the first time i've gone completely from scratch (as opposed to based on another jumper's design) on something so big. i made this jumper/dress based on my nana's dog and i'm going to send it over to her with my mum when she goes to visit soon. it goes a bit longer than this but it looked like i wasn't wearing pants and it was like 30c at 10pm at the time of photographing so i was not putting on anything longer 😂

it didn't take as long as my previous jumpers, possibly because the actual pattern is a lot smaller than my previous designs and it's only on the front, so a lot of it was just knitting green. i started it in mid/late january and i had to take a break for the red wool to come back in stock. i used paintbox super chunky and the photo is pretty true to life in terms of colour, it's really lovely. it's also very soft to touch, machine washable and super affordable, which is why it's my go to!

i need to stop making jumpers for other people because it's so hard to give them away when i'm done! hopefully the weather cools off enough for me to sneak in a couple of wears before i send it to nana!

knitting is like cooking: at first you're too scared to deviate from the recipe because the recipe writer Knew things that you don't and then you do it for a while and you're like. recipe writer wrong we do this based on vibes only

What I love about knitting from patterns is that everyone gets the same baseline but because knitting is such a slow craft and everyone has different preferences people will just change things to be more in line with their tastes. So same sweater pattern but some people will add a different cuff a different neckline a different hem. Do the colourwork differently skip it entirely use a different part of the pattern where it wasn't intended. Change the shaping.

So by the end you have so many variations that are in fact the same item but are not actually the same. I just love how knitters make patterns their own

i keep forgetting to take photos of this sweater, but here she is!

i started on december 19th and finished it on january 26th :-) the yarn is rauma fivel in the color 401. after a soak with wool wash it’s super soft (at least in my opinion) and probably my dearest possession. the color shifts beautifully between a rusty red and a merlot-burgundy depending on the lighting.

Another labor of love💙 finished this last week and I love it. It took me longer than I wanted because I’ve been busy but I love the results.

I still gotta add the embroidery but I may save that for next November/December🎄☃��❄️
