Just in case you recognise parts of it, I should mention that I started this project in 2012 and finished it last year, but when wearing it recently I realised I hadn’t blogged it’s finished beauty. And seeing as spring is finally here (at least it was when these photos were taken) I figured now was the perfect time to share it with you.
It's a Sirdar 'Roman Holiday' pattern (9426) in Sirdar simply recycled wool; you can see a picture of the pattern here. Even for something this small, I found it required a lot of dedication and did get a bit bored around halfway through, particularly when I couldn't work out how the pattern would come together, but I'm very glad I persevered and am definitely keen to start a 'proper' jumper now.
Would love any pattern recommendations for a simple beginners jumper or cardigan?
That looks wonderful and you knit so neatly! Knitting really passed me by, my mam tried to teach me a couple of times but I got never grasp it so I just stick with my cross stitching and crocheting. I don't know if you use it already but Raverly can be a great resource for looking up knitting and crochet patterns for a huge variety of projects.
ReplyDeleteLove the cardi. My first adult garment came from the Bergere de France I'm a beginner booklet. I did a tunic top lots of stocking stitch with slight shaping still a proper garment! To be to honest just have a go at anything that takes your fancy as your knitted cardi looks far from easy! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - I love the back :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful ... such pretty stitches and pattern ... I love it ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks brilliant, especially with that t-shirt. Good luck with the next project! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat looks beautiful. I cannot knit to save my life. I want to learn to crochet but I fear I'm not cut out for it.
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty and such a lovely colour! It certainly doesn't look handmade!
ReplyDeleteI used to be able to knit about 15 years ago (my gran taught me) but I have no idea where to start nowdays. I keep meaning to try and teach myself but haven't got round to it yet. :-) x
Well done you, it looks amazing! :) The pattern looks quite complicated, but really pretty! Leanne x
ReplyDeleteThat does look lovely. And it looks like it took a lot of skill to make too!
