You might find that on the short row shaping the wrap and turn method may work better for you, especially with your yarn choice (German short rows need pulling up really tight which is harder in fancy yarns). Also when doing a gauge swatch you need to wash swatch then block ideally to get a truer sense of gauge and material achieved. Well done on being brave and jumping in. A lovely knit.
@@natashacrawf I always worry that giving advice might come across in a negative way 🙃 when written. Glad it didn't offend. There are some great master handknitters with youtube channels that I would encourage you to check out like Suzanne Bryan, Heather Storta, Roxanne Richardson, Nerdy Knitting, Patty Lyons and I’ve just binge watched a great new channel called Knicoleknits Knows Knitting. There are so many great designers out there like Carole Feller who have amazing workshops that go along with her patterns over on Stolen Stiches. I hope that you find interesting and good advice that encourages you to grow in your knitting journey.
I thought I could binge-watch your channel now, since I just found you yesterday evening. But I just realized that you're still in the beginnings🫢 Loved the video and the super cute cardigan!! Keep it up🥰✨️ Greetings from germany :)
Soo weird seeing this because I literally just finished a soft yellow round neck cardi about a fortnight ago!! Mine was self drafted and I used drops air :-) its proving to be very wearable atm!
So glad you came up on my feed. Love the colour. I am just on the button band of my cardigan - did mine with drops air which is a little thicker and was nice to knit with apart from one ball which was a little uneven and knotty xx
June 30 2024 Maryland USA: Loving your channel that I just discovered. The cardigan is so beautiful. So many ideas of doing for evening with two yarns and adding a classy button with rhinestones on a black yarn! The one ply is so perfect to add a bit of glamor even with jeans and a white tee. Thank you for all the mentions such as what to expect with the yarn and the wooden circular needle that left ladders. Bravo for the lovely cardigan.
So happy you popped up on my feed, you've inspired me, I want to make one of these cardigans now 😊 it's good know the pattern is beginner friendly. Did you find picking up the stitches quite straightforward? This is something I have found a bit challenging especially if the pattern doesn't tell you exactly how many to pick up. Thanks for a great vlog and I will look forward to more from you.
thank you!! I don’t actually think i’m that fast of a knitter but i will happily knit for 5+ hours if I’ve got meetings in my work day or watching tv or travelling etc!
