Me wearing a purple heather sweater. The top section of the sweater has a 1 by 1 texture, as well as the cuffs and the bottom of the sweater

Me wearing the same sweater, but I stepped into the sun so the picture is a bit warmer

I finished the Anker Swetaer by Petiteknit! This was particularly hard on my hands with all of the ribbing and working with relatively small needles, but I like the end result #knitting

Huge shoutout to @alex james who inspired me to knit from a similar video! I made an in-depth video on YouTube, which is linked in my bio! #knitting #handmade #crafting #knit #crochet #yarn #stepbyste... TikTok video by sydneywindhamcrafts

Here’s a short form video of my first few months of knitting! (Not short enough to share directly on this platform, unfortunately)

A picture of me wearing my in-progress sweater. It is currently just the yoke, so it covers my chest but it doesn’t have sleeves yet. The yarn is a beautiful plum, and this pattern has 5 sections of ribbing texture at the top of the sweater.

Day 5 of the Anker Sweater by petiteknit

This one has been a bit slower moving because the ribbing was making my hands hurt for a few days, but I think I’ve figured out a rhythm that is more sustainable
#knitting

Thanks for the advice! I think after my current WIP, I might give it a try :)

I absolutely love this pattern! I really want to make it but I haven’t done color work before

An in-progress picture of my current project: a crew neck sweater that has lots of texture on top. Currently, I have only done the collar and started on the yoke, so it is only about 5 inches long. The yarn is a deep plumb wool (specifically Sandnes Garn Peer Tynn Gynt in the color blackberry held together with drops kid silk in the color heather)

Something new is on my needles :)

I started on the Anker Sweater by Petite Knit!

I knew going into this that I hate ribbing but I decided to torture myself lol
#knitting

I am wearing a collared sweater with several cool-toned stripes. The stripes are blue, purple, pink, and teal. I am wearing purple pants that match the purple stripe in the sweater

I crocheted this sweater two years ago but I thought I’d share it here!

This is the Crochet Rainer Sweater by Sewrella
#crochet

A picture of me wearing a completed, hand knit sweater. It is made with mohair yarn, so it is very fuzzy. The sweater has a mock neck neckline. I am posing with one arm bent across my body and grabbing the other arm.

The same sweater, but I’m posing while pushing a piece of hair behind my ear

Now I’m posing with my hands clasped in front of me

The sweater is being laid out on a table to block. It has pins holding it in place

I finished knitting the Gallant Sweater by Caidree!

Here it is after washing and blocking

Side note: if anyone knows other poses to show off a sweater, let me know haha

A cobalt blue sweater being laid out to block. It is made out of mohair yarn so it is very fuzzy. The pattern is the Gallant Sweater by Caidree

It’s ✨finished✨

#knitting

Me wearing a fuzzy, cobalt blue sweater. I have finished making the body and one sleeve, and the other sleeve is halfway completed. I have stitch markers still attached to the sleeves, and they are dangling down from my arms.

Day 12 of knitting the Gallant Sweater by Caudree

Just half of one sleeve left! I think it’ll be done today! #knitting

In progress picture of me wearing a cobalt blue sweater. The body is finished, and I am halfway through knitting the first sleeve

Day 11 (?) of knitting the Gallant Sweater by Caidree

Hoping to finish this tomorrow or Monday 🤞🏻 #knitting

Me wearing my current work in progress: a cobalt blue mockneck sweater made with mohair yarn. I still need to knit another 6ish inches of the body before I move on to making the sleeves

Day 7 of the Gallant Sweater by Caidree

Not the best lighting but I thought I’d post my progress anyway:)

#knitting

An in-progress picture of a knitted cobalt blue sweater. The sweater currently has the sleeve stitches on hold, so the sleeves are still short. The body of the sweater only covers my chest, and the sweater has a mockneck neckline

Day 6 knitting the Gallant Sweater by Caidree.

I love this part of making a sweater because you functionally have a shirt, just without the length!

I will probably keep working tonight but wanted a picture while the sun was still out!
#knitting

An in- progress picture of me wearing a cobalt blue sweater. It currently sits just over my shoulders. The yarn is mohair, which makes it very fuzzy

Day 5 of knitting the Gallant Swearer by Caidree

Only a few more rows before I can separate the sleeves from the body #knitting

Thanks! I’m glad I know this hashtag now haha

Day 3 progress of the Gallant Sweater (mohair edition) by Caidree #knitting

Yes! I crocheted for 8 years and I wanted to knit a few dish cloths for my mom. Now I’ve knitted two sweaters! It’s a little addictive haha

Forgot to mention: the grey sweater is the Gallant Sweater (aran) by Caidree and the green sweater is the Step-by-Step sweater by Florence Miller

I was finally home during daylight to take good pictures of my first two sweaters #knitting

Just started knitting my third sweater with this gorgeous cornflower blue mohair yarn that happened to be the exact same shade as the pants I wore today. (The sweater in picture #2 I finished yesterday :) #knitting

Word of the day….

Wow! Yarn spinning is one of those things that I’ve always been like “…maybe I’ll do that eventually” lol

A folded green and cream stripped sweater

Me wearing the green stripped sweater

An in-progress picture of a grey chunky sweater. I’m wearing just the collar around my neck and I’m making a dumb face

I deleted Instagram. Sharing my knitting progress here :) I just started knitting a month ago and I’ve made two sweaters and started my third #knitting #crafting
