I do intended on giving it another go though. And I do recommend giving knitting another try. Once you get the knack it is so enjoyable, especially if like me you stick to what you know for a while 😂Fiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-52052409123268986432022-01-22T17:26:54.662+00:002022-01-22T17:26:54.662+00:00I adore this colour!

And now I’ve got my eyes peeled for fabric in the exact same shade! <br />I too agonised about this colour choice as it felt quite bold but actually it seems to be almost a neutral in how it works in my wardrobe! <br />You may have a very long wait on your hands for more knitting 🤣Fiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-38934835485156509312022-01-22T17:25:43.300+00:002022-01-22T17:25:43.300+00:00I’m glad you said that about the stitch!

I often think I spend way to much time deliberating over pattern and fabric/yarn choice but I think it pays off in the end! <br />I do highly recommend getting to grips with knitting. Once you’ve got the basics down there is a lot you can do and it is lovely to be able to pick up and put down a project like this Fiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-34972965605584592432022-01-22T17:22:57.300+00:002022-01-22T17:22:57.300+00:00Thank you very much!

Fantastic to hear that cotton doesn’t need blocking, that makes total sense and I’m relieved that I didn’t do anything that left this misshapen when I’m so pleased with it. I’m off to look at cable knits for circular needles!

I am a self taught home sewist, and have tried knitting before and it never seems to turn out correctly! I have resigned to sticking with sewing and crochet instead. Thanks for sharing your knitting and sewing, it is an inspiration to me (and many others, surely!).

Looking forward to your next make.

This sweater looks like just the thing to get my knitting motivation going again!<br /><br />Absolutely love the colour too.

It doesn’t look like it needs a block: it looks really good as is. I’d recommend a cabled pattern on circular needles! That way you get the best of all words 😉 can’t wait to see what you decide!
