How to knit a sweater
It made me
Triumphant!
 "One stitch after another until I had my very own sweater!"
How I did it: Finally found a pattern and yarn that I liked. Made my gauge swatch, then cast on! Kept working on it whenever I had a little free time, and slowly it grew. I made a top down sweater that required no finishing work. So when I finished the knitting, I wove in the ends and it was done! Lessons & tips: One stitch after another, that is how you complete any knitting project. |

How I did it: Well, I was six years old when I begged mom to teach me to knit. After that, I never stopped. I started from scarves, mittens and socks and went to sweaters, skirts and dresses. Now I am unable (and unwilling) to stop and knitting has become an addiction. But as far as addictions go, knitting is a pretty healty one (or my wrists and shoulders might beg to differ some days tough). Learning knitting really is just about repeating enough and… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I chose a simple pattern - the Universal Raglan Sweater - and went with a thicker yarn and a smaller size so that I could work through it quickly, just to see what kinds of mistakes I could make. As it turned out, it was very easy, and now that sweater has been passed down from one child to the next. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I multi-tasked and knitted when I could. I chose a summer tank that was semi-sleeveless. Something that I felt that wouldn't frustrate me with difficult instructions and that I would be able to finish with few problems. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I already knew how to knit and I also already knew the basic parts of the sweater. These are essential to learn. I found a pattern that looked like something my dad would wear, bought the yarn for it online, and started going! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used the Stitch and Bitch book as a reference, and Debbie Bliss Baby Knits for beginners for patterns. Because the baby sweater was smaller it didn't take so long, and was a good way to practice reading the pattern and doing things like picking up stitches for the cuffs and neck. Read how I did it…

I knitted the last two rows of the collar and bound off. Now I just need to sew it up (the most boring part).
I’ve got the wool for my next sweater project, now just hunting the perfect pattern.

and picking up stitches to knit the collar. On the homeward stretch. Keep it up.

knit the collar once it’s together. I’ve bought a couple of buttons for the neck, so I should get this done within the week, IF I start. Been at this stage for over a week already. Come on, let’s finish it!
Perdysha is getting back into 43things after several years off.
I’m doing well on the front of the jumper now. Got about 12cm in length since starting. Need about 32-33cm before I change anything for the armholes. So this is going to take some time. I don’t think I really appreciated how much time Gran puts into her knitting. Mind you she is a lot faster than me.

I did really well at first. I did about 6/7 rows of cabling, then I unravelled it all because it was too big. My wool is bigger than the one in the pattern. So I’ve started again compensating for that. Hopefully it will work out this time. I’ve only done a few rows this time because it was getting late.

I’ve just got back from the shop where I bought wool and needles. I found a pattern online for a v-neck jumper.
Now I just have to find out how to cast on because I’ve forgotten. Somehow I can remember all the other stitches I ever got taught including casting off. It’s frustrating that I don’t know how to start.

It’s supposed to take an hour to knit (takes me two hours) and it is designed to go on a Xmas card, IF you knit it in Xmassy colours.
But I descovered that it fits my daughter’s polar bear and a bunny rabbit. So I’m going to knit a few more for my nieces’ dolls. So cute.

I almost wrote “on the last sleeve” but how many sleeves can there be?
So some more progress, but past my initial deadline of 31 August 2009.
bassetanna has work to do, but no motivation
but it seems like I never follow through on projects. I’ve made socks, and some fingerless gloves, but my sweater project has been languishing for months. :(
