#AnydaySweater for a day of hitting the spreadshee

#AnydaySweater for a day of hitting the spreadsheets ✌️ I quite enjoy the logical, methodical side of grading patterns and I've developed my own methods and systems over the years to streamline the process. There are always a few challenges but it's very satisfying when all the formulas click into place!

Got the wide jeans and knitted scarf memo ✌️ @missdrewmerry93 @seamlesssista only learnt to knit last year and has made many beautiful projects, including this stunning (and ginormous) scarf from @laine_magazine.
Worked out there are 188,000 stitches in this 1 scarf! I am a very proud knitting friend 😁

Usually these videos show a ball of yarn turning into a finished item, but sometimes it's the other way round 🤷🏻‍♀️ You win some, you lose some. Frogging version 1 so I can use the yarn for my (almost finished) version 2.

Winding yarn by hand is usually my mum's job because apparently it's painful to watch me do it, but I think I can wind them up pretty quickly these days. Lord knows I've had enough practice 😅

Oh and my top isn't handknit BTW, it's vintage Burberry and one of my best charity shop finds ✌🏻

Knitting hack: when working ribbed edgings, drop a needle size on the round BEFORE you start actually working rib. Gives a neater transition than changing both on the same round ✌🏻

This works because the loops created on your needle on the last round of stocking stitch are the loops that will form the first visible round of rib... so if they're on your bigger needle size, they will look looser than the rest of your rib. If that makes sense 😅 So many times I've forgotten to do this but it definitely makes a difference! Let me know if you try it 😊

Why are the best ideas always the ones you have when you're not trying to think of ideas? Started this cardigan on a long journey with absolutely zero plan for the end design, and it's been one of my bestsellers for almost 3 years 😂 I guess winging it sometimes works 🤷🏻‍♀️

A comfy cosy #AnydaySweater kind of Monday. My first of several 'inside out' knits and I have no doubt there will be more to come 👍

Taking shape (at long last 😅). I love adding the buttonbands and sleeves and seeing those scrappy curled up pieces actually become something! The combination of double knitting, short rows, and shaping is making me very happy ✨

A little knit on knit 'fit, just in case there was any doubt that I am indeed a knitter and it makes up a good chunk of my personality. Who would I even be without the hobby I started as an 8 year old 😳 Genuinely can't imagine. Don't know what route my life would've taken but my sweater and accessories collection would be poorer for it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't imagine their life without stitches!

Also, turns out heatless dressing gown curls actually work. Who knew 🤷🏻‍♀️

#OverItSlipover over everything 💃 I honestly enjoyed making this one so much, especially because it actually looks neat and tidy as you go along so you can properly see it taking shape. Even if that does mean I stop to try it on approx every 5 minutes 🤦🏻‍♀️
