This was one of the kits I wanted really bad from We Are Knitters. The cable looked so interesting. This was rated as Advanced. It looked intimidating. But once I got a hang of it, it wasn't that difficult. I thought I was a genius when I used the stitch marker as cable needle. I… Continue reading Bormio Sweater from WAK
There was a sale on Loopy Mango. So I got a white and blue cones of their cotton yarn. I'm so in love their their cotton yarn. I wanted to buy all the colors. Unfortunately, they are kind of pricey. I'll have to buy a few at a time. Two things I hate the most… Continue reading Sky Color Block Top (Pattern Inside)
This is my first purchased pattern. This pattern was from Universal Yarn. I tried to follow the pattern many times and I didn't get it how it meant to be. So I changed the pattern on row 5. I moved the * to after k4. So instead of k1, *k4, [k2tog]twice, it's k5,*[k2tog]twice. The rest… Continue reading Sea Breeze from Universal Yarn
Here's the pattern. Make 2 of the following in two different colors. Materials: 2 skeins of We Are Knitters Cotton (1 skein of color Wine, and 1 skein of color Pearl) This is size small. Working from bottom up. I used garter stitch for this top, which means purl all rows. Cast on 120 st.… Continue reading CoCo Pearl & Wine Top (Pattern Inside)
I was so excited when I got these Loopy Mango Big Cotton. As soon as I got home, I started knitting. There was only one thing I had in mind when I started: linen stitch. Long story short, here's my pattern. As always, comment below if you find any errors in my pattern. Thank you… Continue reading Coco Summer Top (Pattern Inside)
I got this kit when it was 40% off. Since I had never tried the meripaca from We Are Knitters, I thought I would give it a shot. Plus, I wanted to learn how to make the twisty pattern and how to knit the shape of the sleeves. When I got the kit, I couldn't… Continue reading WAK Coleen Sweater
This Bossa Nova sweater was really fun to make. I really liked We Are Knitters cotton yarn. It felt really nice on my skin. I completed the front and back last July. I really liked how it was without the sleeves. I needed a project for my commute. I decided to complete the sleeves. To… Continue reading WAK Bossa Nova Sweater
Though this is an advanced level by We Are Knitters standard, it's not actually that difficult, technique wise. One thing I suggest is not to hang this piece after it's completed. I feel like mine has been stretched a little bit. Overall, a very fun and good learning experience.
This was my second knit garment. I used Bernat Roving Yarn. I really like this yarn and the moss stitch. Moss stitch is very easy and gives a great look. I didn't follow the instructions for the collar and the two front panels. I wanted the front to be a bit longer. It turned out… Continue reading Modified Yarnspiration Cocoon Cardigan
This was my very first knitted sweater . I found this pattern on Red Heart website (link below). It was a good learning experience for beginner knitters. I shorten the sleeves a bit. I only used one skein of Caron one pound. I ran out of the skein and added some leftover white yarn I had. I… Continue reading My First Knit Sweater
