I saw The Blazer in the classroom and fell in love! I had originally thought I would get a tonal yarn to make it and maybe add a few random pops of color. But then I saw this yarn at the Carolina Fiber Fest and had to have it! It isn’t striping (which I knew when I got it), but I really like how it’s looking. I cast on Monday. I’ve made it to the point where I dip the increases for the armhole.

I am still working through my rujuu and wondered if anyone else is? I like to go a little off piste with patterns (I believe @Zanete Hussain does too!) and decided early on my cardigan was going to be hooded with a zip closure. I also then decided I wanted to fleece lined and have everything i need to finish. Using techniques I've learned before I centralised the pattern for the hood, starting part way through the chart, and stepped back 5sts each side to allow room for a ribbed edge. Would love to hear from anyone still knitting! 🤩 I still need to: 1. Finish hood ribbing 2. Sleeves 3. Sew in ends 4. Block 5. Pattern, cut and sew in fleece lining 6. Add zip and cover strip 7. Wear!

This was fun 😄 not bad for a first sweater, mistakes and all ❤️

Who’s getting excited for the fashion shooooow!?

Hi! I just messed up the pattern on the arm 😅 anyone know what’s up? “Last round sets the pattern” confused me. Perhaps I was supposed to keep starting at stitch 12 for the remaining 7 rounds to the first decrease? (I’m doing size 2, using chart III). I’ve ripped back and tried this and that didn’t work either. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong reading the pattern! Thank you for any help!
