For this first cardigan pattern, I chose a very simple base. As with all my favorite sweaters and cardigans, here it’s all about the little details: the folded collar for a snug fit, the tubular bind-off to keep the ribbing edge clean and elastic … and the little extra pocket(s) that can be embroidered.
When I’m asked which is more useful, I usually reply: the ball winder. I know it’s often advisable to buy a swift before you have a ball winder. But for me, the opposite is more practical.
It doesn’t sound like it because I’ve been talking about it for a long time now, but I’ve been upset with brioche for a long time. I had resigned myself to the fact that brioche was just something I ate. But everything changed the day I realized these two things.
This pair of socks that was supposed to be all simple and no-fuss, all jersey and plain won’t be after all 😆 I had all the best intentions in the world when I started them. Except that I don’t think I have enough yarn to make the whole pair. This implies a change of strategy.
ps: in addition to my bi-monthly letter in which I give a glimpse of behind-the-scene of tisserin coquet and share with you all of my latests favourites in the crafting world, you’ll also get 20% off all my new patterns.
