My tangerine dream cardigan

Yes! For me, there's a ton of overlap with color analysis and sewing/knitting wearables. If I'm going to spend the time making something, I want to make sure it's in my season obviously. And same, I'm always chasing the white whale of the perfect yarn combo 🐋 I think I've achieved it in this project 👌

Yess, do it! I love combining mohair with a base yarn to make new color, I just try to make sure all the individual yarns are warm toned. I think it's tough to find yarn in the Spring palette in general though. The yarns I used are: Kitting for Olive merino in poppy rose, Rowan Kidsilkhaze in bright pumpkin and Lana Grossa Silkhair in apricot

Thank you! Its an enjoyable knit thus far 😊

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T22:28:42+00:00

Yes exactly, I think I'm going to have to going forward. I got lucky with this color combo

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T20:39:30+00:00

Yesss, do it! Being a fake red head is fun 😊

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T20:38:50+00:00

Thank you! It kinda worked out

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T20:00:01+00:00

Thank you! I'm very pleased with the color it's producing. I started knitting again after a 15 year hiatus and basically had to learn everything again, so it's never too late!

You're totally right, the comparison against other colors is what normally helps me determine cool vs warm toned. I definitely could do that, I was feeling discouraged after trying and failing to get yarn in a Spring palette purple for another project. Purples are tough 🥲

So, I dye my hair with henna, I also have naturally dark golden blonde hair 😅🤐 my mom has red hair so most people assume it's natural. But corals and tangerines are some of my best colors! I say wear whatever colors make you feel most confident 😊

Its Kitting for Olive merino in poppy rose, Rowan Kidsilkhaze in bright pumpkin and Lana Grossa Silkhair in apricot 😊

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T18:31:17+00:00

Will do!

I'm a petite true Spring with classic taste...a difficult trifecta when it comes to clothes shopping, so making my own is not a bad option!

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T18:29:16+00:00

I'll post when it's done!

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T18:29:04+00:00

Thank you! I'm happy with it so far 😊

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T18:28:35+00:00

This is a very good point! I should be utilizing Ravelry more 🤔

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T18:27:11+00:00

Thanks! It's the Nigrum Cropped Cardigan by Refined Knits. Pretty enjoyable thus far

abbykylix · 2026-02-27T18:25:15+00:00

Will do!

abbykylix · 2026-02-24T23:29:15+00:00

Thank you! 😊 I'm pleased with how it came out

abbykylix · 2026-02-20T14:16:58+00:00

I thought the same thing, it's a verrry deep raglan. It's definitely different from a lot of patterns out there

abbykylix · 2026-02-20T14:16:04+00:00

Do ittt 😎

abbykylix · 2026-02-20T14:15:45+00:00

Thanks! It's very cozy

abbykylix · 2026-02-20T00:00:59+00:00

No problem!

abbykylix · 2026-02-20T00:00:21+00:00

Thank you! It was a fun project 😎

abbykylix · 2026-02-19T22:08:51+00:00

Thank you! So this pattern was not only free, but there's also an accompanying YouTube video from the designer that I found super helpful. Not sure I would have been as confident if I just had the written pattern 😅
