A selection of my favorite sweaters and cardigans from this year's Indie Designer Gift-A-Long (= the GAL).
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.
My life as a designer, one stitch at a time 🧶🐑🐤 The most-read posts of the month, my reading of the moment, and a behind-the-scenes look at what's coming soon.
I have a lot of knitting desires now that the mojo is back. Especially as I find that knitting a few stitches here and there is much easier when doing knitolire rather than knitflix. My list of desires (and commitments) is long ... and it's only getting longer as the days go by.
I loved knitting every stitch! From the first to the very last, this little bolero/gilet was truly refreshing and re-energizing.
