HUGE success! Really great work, I was also tricked haha

I also love your colour choices! It looks like your stitches are twisted, did you know?

I also went route 2!

I made a chunky cardigan, which was basically several rectangles that I’d need to stitch together. I learnt how to knit, purl and do 1x1 rib, which all went fine. I even managed to do knitting maths to adjust for my gauge. But then my mattress stitching was an absolute disaster and I miscalculated my pick up and knit for the button band and it all bunched up.

So no, I didn’t have a nice wearable item. But I learnt a lot of skills and really enjoyed it. I’ve been hooked ever since. All in all, I’d still recommend route two haha

Re needles: I got wooden interchangeable needles in the two sizes I needed for that project (10 and 12 mm I think), then when I realised I was immediately hooked I bought a set.

Ps. My next project was a jumper in the round and it went wayyyyy better.

I didn’t even realise Yorkies still existed. Not that that changes anything, I still refuse to eat sexist mediocre chocolate.

Ooh please share if you end up making one too!
