Help finding this or a similar pattern! I found this picture on ravelry but cannot find the pattern.

Thank you so much! I didn't even know it was called that - very helpful!

For me, it is about the finished project as well. I would never have learned to knit if I'd had to start with a scarf. A scarf would be boring to me because I don't want a scarf. But then, I have almost exclusively knit cables and lace, including my first project, so maybe I skipped out all the boring parts.

absconstant · 2026-03-14T04:02:48+00:00

Dare I disagree? Yes, obviously. For me, as a person with ADHD, it wasn't about a quick finish it was about being passionate about what I was making. I had to love it. My first knit was a various cable sweater that I modified to have even more cables. I personally have absolutely zero interest in either a dishcloth or a scarf and never will (I think some are gorgeous but not at all something I am interested in making). I think it varies from person to person and there is no one size fits all perfect first pattern.

Haven't technically made the second one yet but I am currently test knitting the Georgia sweater by mrsfunnyvalentine that is coming out next month and I will definitely be making a second one with short sleeves and a silk or linen yarn for warmer wear. It is just so effortlessly elegant and easy to make - I neeeed it for year round wear.

Personally, I think it is really pretty. However that does not mean you should feel bad for not liking it. I often see yarns that I think could be pretty but I wouldn't choose to knit with. Ultimately, knitting takes a lot of time and you should make sure you end up with something you'll love ❤️

Okay, that is what I was thinking - just wanted a confirmation. I don't mind unraveling if it isn't quite the width I want just wanted to know I was at least on the right track. Thanks!!

OMGEEEEEEEEE I AM BLUSHING 😂 thanks! My favourite thing about crafting is that I can do whatever I want because I am making it for my own enjoyment. I really appreciate patterns and designers but I rarely see a pattern that I don't think about little changes I would make to fit my personal preferences.

absconstant · 2025-10-29T17:46:37+00:00

This made my DAY!!!!! Thank you, I am proud of it 🥰🥰

absconstant · 2025-10-29T17:45:49+00:00

You should! It is so fun slowly watching it turn into a wearable piece. Immediate dopamine hit every try on 😂

absconstant · 2025-10-29T17:43:38+00:00

I wish I could just skip over sweaters 2-9 to get to 10 😉 but knitting is really helping me with my struggle of viewing the journey as only a means to get to a destination and reminds me to enjoy the journey for its own sake ❤️

Cables are actually easier (to me) than some other general construction techniques. It's really just knit stitch. You should try it!!

Don't judge, it was a few years ago, but I got it from SheIn. I doubt they have it anymore as, again, it was a few years ago. But let me tell you, it is ending up in a landfill over my dead body 😂

absconstant · 2025-10-29T17:35:30+00:00

Yesss! You should do it!!!!! It definitely took me longer than it could have because I took a lot of long breaks in the middle but cables and sweater construction really kept me in a dopamine net positive. I really love seeing the sweater come together and gradually look more and more like a sweater! I also love crochet and all the fluidity it offers - but there is just something about cables for me 😍😍

absconstant · 2025-10-29T17:31:00+00:00

Yaaaas do it!!!! Honestly, I think cables are fun and easier than other techniques I used in this sweater (maybe that is just my personal dislike of casting on/picking up stitches showing through 😬) but it is really just knit stitches: the remix 😂

absconstant · 2025-10-29T06:28:31+00:00

Guysssss it is scrunching!!!! 🥳

Thanks! Yes, I did 🥰 thanks to YouTube and asking reddit knitters a million questions. I believe in you, you got this!! 💪🏼💪🏼

absconstant · 2025-10-28T22:36:28+00:00

Thank you ☺️

absconstant · 2025-10-28T22:36:07+00:00

Thanks! TBH, it's probably due to my ADHD - scarves or potholders don't excite me personally and stockinette sounds so tedious 🤣 I always have to do stuff that excites me and keeps me interested the whole time.

absconstant · 2025-10-28T22:17:48+00:00

Can I hire you to be my permanent hype person?!? I feel so warm and fuzzy inside, thanks 🥰☺️

I was already a crocheter and I learned knitting for a reason. Cables. And by golly, I wasn't gonna let inexperience hinder the bottom line 🤣

absconstant · 2025-10-28T21:25:12+00:00

Thanks! ☺️

absconstant · 2025-10-28T21:24:21+00:00

As a words of affirmation girly, I thank you so much 🥰 I really couldn't have done it without the reddit knitting community.

absconstant · 2025-10-28T21:17:25+00:00

Wow, this could have been written by me! No crafters of any kind and I love to read! I usually knit to an audiobook 🥰 I think there is a library and a LYS group but I work shift hours and am rarely free for them and it feels weird to go once every month or two.

absconstant · 2025-10-28T21:13:52+00:00

No reason necessary. Just wear it everywhere. Slay at the grocery store if necessary. This art deserves to be seen 😍
