    Hi. I am not familiar with knitting at all. May I ask why you feel it’s not perfect? Just trying to understand if it’s a personal opinion or actual fault somewhere (that I don’t see).

      I’m probably my own worst critic, but I guess some spots don’t look as “polished” or “neat” to me as I’d like. Some of the ribbing on the neck collar looks a little uneven. It’s just small things that are probably more noticeable to me than anyone else. Also, it was only the 2nd sweater I ever knit, so I’m self-conscious about how good my work looks to anyone else.

        Don’t be so harsh on yourself, it’s awesome! The imperfections are the perfect level that will make another knitter go “Oh wow that’s selfmade. So cool!” while other people won’t notice them at all. Really nice work!

        I haven’t zoomed in or anything but I couldn’t notice anything wrong or particularly un-neat. It just looks handmade to me. Nice work!

      There’s always little things we notice in our own projects that are basically invisible to the non-knitter. It’s our curse!

    It took me awhile to see that they’re owls, but damn I’d kill for that during winter right now.

    It was amazing before I noticed the owls. The owls made it perfect. Pure art.

    Oh, I love this so much! You’ve done a great job. Also, thank you for sharing the pattern. Once I’ve had enough of sock knitting I want to make this!

    Absolutely love this. The buttons at the top also make for a nice detailing contrast.

      considering she said it’s her 2nd ever jumper, she did a really good job. I’m not even a knitter, but it looks really good!

      I lived in Jakarta 2005-2006 and remember hearing about that show when I first moved there 😆

    Love this pattern! It’s a classic for a reason!

    It looks great on you, totally know what you mean about being your own worst critic but we really do see the flaws so much more in our own projects than anyone else will. Achievement unlocked! Now what’s your next big goal? :D
