I learnt how to knit in 2017 but only made self-drafted socks like once a year until last year when I started to branch out into making different garments.
I love toe-up socks, knitting in the round, my interchangeable needles and (like every knit girly atm) mohair
I still feel like a total amateur but if you have any further questions about any of my projects feel free to message me!

Mini knitted farmyard

Features a party hat and my 1st shoddy attempt at intarsia
Learned how to double knit - amazing technique and the sweater looks so nice and profesh unzipped, but man, did that take ages! Also love the colour for spring
Regina yarn is actually salvaged from my 1st proper sweater (knit in November of 2021!), unraveling it and de-crimping the yarn was a whole journey in itself lol.
It's amazing how condensed the instructions are but I did make an error on the back pannel due to misreading them (the arm holes go too far inwards) but it is not noticeable!! Also made the cardigan slightly more cropped cuz I prefer that.
Although I love the finished object (especially the yarn and pearl button combo ), I HATED the panel construction and would probably avoid it in the future.
Happy with the finished object regardless, I think the varsity stripe and twisted rib was a nice touch!
The pattern is very easy to follow, the shoulder construction is my fav part, it's so subtle yet effective. Very happy with my yarn choices as well, it feels like a lovely soft cloud. Maybe will swap out the buttons in the future but the current ones hold sentimental value so likely not
Before I had started on the sleeves, my bf said it looks like Shrek's vest and that didn't even ruin it for me, I'm that in love with this cardigan!
The yarn wasn't the best choice for socks but do those tweed specks look lovely!
I know the image here looks bit silly and noodle-like but I promise they fit great
