  • I’d made at least 10-15 smaller projects before I started on this, including a more basic knit “test” sweater with shorter sleeves. It still felt daunting starting this, but I just read through the pattern ahead of time and tried to understand when/why I’d have to do certain steps.

    Thanks for the hair compliment! I could definitely dm you and share whatever you want to know, unfortunately the color I’ve been using has been discontinued so I’m about to try a new one soon 🤞


  • Before I started on this sweater, I’d knit about 10-15 projects beforehand including some hats, headbands, cowls, and one really simple (short-sleeved) sweater. It took me about 6 weeks from start to finish but I had a lot of time each day to work on it. I also actually had learned to crochet before knitting and had crocheted several things.

    They’re both great crafts and there are a lot of nice tops you can make with just crochet if that’s the craft you’d feel more comfortable learning first! There are a lot of great resources for learning both. I actually learned crochet from a book, but couldn’t really grasp knitting from books, but was able to from videos.
