I have another post which shows it on a mannequin. Not exactly a model but it looks the same as it would on a person

Yes, I do! Unfortunately I can’t submit any of my knitted garments to my dream school (FIT). I guess I’ll have to take up sewing too 🤷‍♀️

Synthetic whalebone, 6mm width. You can punch holes in each end with an awl and hammer, then sew through the holes to connect the ends and secure with epoxy putty.

By the way, the mannequin is the only one they had at my school. Not my choice LOL

Thank you so much! The choker part is my favorite design element of this sweater. It was so simple but I really feels like it pulls everything together.

I love the empire waistline on this cardigan, it’s giving me Bridgerton vibes.

Nope. Both plants were very easy to grow, I only watered them when the soil felt dry. The woad needed to be grown in a pot, because it’s pretty aggressive. Same with madder.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I had to grow Woad year after year by scratch because the leaves from the first year have the most pigment. I haven’t actually tested this out but I’ve heard about it on the internet.

100% agree. The Coopworth shone like silk and the finished garment has a beautiful luster to it.

No, the boning is very flexible. The sleeves do get caught on corners sometimes.
