Based on how this sweater looked on the designer/model at a smaller size, the problem was with my gauge but also perhaps a grading for size issue?
I don’t mind slouchy if it doesn’t look sloppy. 🤦🏼‍♀️ this was also a bottom up pattern which was a new experience as well.

If anyone asks what I’m dressing up as for Halloween this year I’m just gonna take their water, make up a lie, and leave. I’m ChatGPT bitches.
A recent horror story comes from my first attempt at a fingering weight sweater. I thought my swatch was good…it was not. I still haven’t ripped this, but it’s coming. Learning my measurements the hard way.

So much gratification in knitting hats.

My last cat lived to nearly 21. Somehow I forgot that getting a kitten is like giving your home and all your possessions over to a small furry hurricane who sometimes purrs. #catsky

The Stare! 🥰😍 your colorwork is so beautiful!

I have these spooky-cute lil items for #showmeyourknits spooky week. The witch and cat are a pattern by Susan B. Anderson & the pumpkins are a free pattern on Ravelry, I believe it’s the one by The Sleepy Stitch. Yarn is scrap/stash.

Isn’t it?! Wish I could remember the name of it. 🫣
I just love this shop/wool!!
#Soctober week for #showmeyourknits ! I’ve already shared a bunch of sock knits on here but I don’t think I’ve shared these yet. Defo spooky-season vibe. Yarn is Three Irish Girls sock.

For #showmeyourknits care week, I make socks for my mom & dad each year for Christmas. Brings me so much joy to see how much they appreciate the gifts even though they’ve come to expect them. Here are some pairs from past years & a WIP for this year. 🧶🧦❤️

These are fantastic! What amazing gifts. I may need to find the alpaca sweater pattern. And maybe sweet kitty pillow too! 😍
