'Free Size' Vintage Sailor Cardigan From CuteOFF.

[clarice-asquith]

I have been busy creating and neglecting the social media accounts in the process.

Now catching up and making a start with sharing one of the recent weekly swatches - producing this swatch of the Cascading Leaves Knit Stitch is a return to traditional, dainty lace knitting.

This stitch is worked on a multiple of 10 plus 1 stitches over 16 rows. All wrong side rows are purled throughout, allowing for a modicum of relaxation working this stitch.

The stitch pattern is available via my blog.

been learning to knit last several days (since saturday, i think? ish) and it's going pretty smoothly. learned purling last night and having some issues with twisted stitches but i think. i think i've got it. i have one long and ugly rectangle i'm just working on until i get sick of it/decide it's time to learn binding off. it's sort of fun just having like...one long progress bar lol (since it's literally all the knitting i've done barring one row of casting on/knit stitch that immediately fell off the needle and was lost forever. rip) i tend to get too invested in projects so doing "beginner projects" is not my style, better to practice rectangles and techniques for a few weeks and then start making stuff -- that's what I did with crochet and imo it worked really well

my instinct was to do continental style since it felt more like crochet but I quickly realized that was actually a detriment - hands were getting confused between crochet and knitting, leading to all kinds of issues (twisted. fucking. stitches. my bane.) english style and keeping the yarn off to the right are really helpful for like...having a mental divide that goes "okay i'm knitting now!" and i suspect it'll help keep me from getting confused when i crochet too. i could only do about two rows at a time when i started (it's like a 26 stitch row, i just casted on until i was like yep looks good....) but now i've moved up and can do several rows before needing a break (i didn't count but idk, 7-8? that's good progress for me haha). i think i have more arm/elbow pain than finger/hand like i do with crochet, which might just be a side effect of my needles being on the long side and not very good with maneuvering them yet.

i'm not expecting to get as into/advanced in knitting as i am (and want to continue doing) with crochet at least not right now - crochet projects are more up my alley (amigurumi etc, just tend to like the designs better, not interested in making huge/yarn eating/nice yarn projects like clothes yet) but i like knowing both. i wanna knit doll clothes :)

rn i'm using the needles i had lying around (ones i got in eighth grade art class and some others that came in yarn lots) but when i have an idea of what i want i'll need to buy more sizes (i have...one Big needle, a lot of tiny needles, and this one single set that's actually workable for worsted/dk weight yarn haha). but i got yarn and stitch markers etc for days already, so that's nice

all that aside i've been having fun but i have an unassembled pumpkaboo amigurumi i need to put together, and i just found the absolutely perfectest botw zelda pattern of my dreams for $1, so will probably be wobbling back over to crochet for a bit at some point soon - have to split up my hand-demanding hobbies :')

I finished All Of The Lights and went on a walk in the woods with my mom to take pictures! This is my magnum opus, my piece de resistance, the most complex project I have ever made and will ever make, and I'm so glad it's finished!

Shyly knitting on the plane yesterday until 2 different air hostess commented on how lovely the knitting was - one of them even touched the piece 😅. If the security don't take my needed it's an enormous relief 😬. They are so strict these days. And those are my knit pro interchangeably needles. I would have cried if they took them!!! #knitting #lovetoknit #knitpro #knitstagram #instaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #yarnlove #adventureseeker #ryanair #flyingfun #pinkyarn #laceknit #laceknitting #nilzapereirauk (at Aeroplane!)
