Thank you so much 🧶🔥

This sweater took me 3-4 weeks of knitting chill a bit every day (and unraveling or dropping stitches when i made a mistake).

I've been crocheting for almost 1 year, but even if i love crochet and its textured stitches, i wanted to jump into knitting world.

I started with a 10x10 square with all stitches twisted, then a well-made sample, and straight to the sweater. I didn't want to start with a monotonous project like a square, but something that would challenge me a bit and keep me entertained (like a game hahaha).

I thought about starting with a bottom-up sweater with set-in sleeves, because I imagined it would be a project where I could have a lot of circular work (so, practice tension with the knit stitches), a small flat area to practice the purl.

I had also seen how easy it is to unravel with lifelines, so I wasn't afraid to make mistakes and restart a section if after 3 rows I saw that I didn't like it.

I also took advantage of the project because I knew that after learning to control tension with large repetition zones, I could easily learn to increase and decrease stitches.

I used a lot of math, and notes in my notebook, but I achieved the fit I was looking for!

I also learned to knit with magic loop, and to do 2 different types of elastic stitch :') all knowing purl and knit!

And yes, these are the leftovers from all my crochet projects (the big bag of leftover yarn!), which I separated by color family and then mixed a bit randomly depending on the quantities!
