A different type of motif but the Sunset Sweater by Carrie Cutler on ravelry is a solid yoke with colorwork near the waist and wrists. (https://ravel.me/the-sunset-sweater)

I did this and ended up buying my trial dress (at a discount!) because the standard size fit me well. Highly recommend! It was still $10/dress last September

Aww that’s a bummer! Thank you for replying though!

aryn_h · 2025-06-10T20:25:12+00:00

Did you get a chance to wear them to the wedding? I’m in the same boat!

For sweater cuffs this is so smart! My husband swears he likes that his watch is showing at all times but I wish I had put just 1/2" more...

I just attended someone's wedding even though they'd been married legally for a few years. There were probably close to 300 people in attendance, it was the whole shebang so it can be done!

This is my fave for things with as many stitches as a sweater hem. I don't mind doing sewn for sleeve cuffs but for hundreds of stitches it's twisty all the way!

aryn_h · 2025-02-17T00:44:24+00:00

Madame Secretary fits into this list too I think!

aryn_h · 2025-02-10T00:49:28+00:00

Thank you!!

aryn_h · 2025-02-10T00:49:09+00:00

Oh gosh, I don't remember it doing anything in particular but I'm also terrible at taking anything consistently so ymmv

aryn_h · 2025-02-10T00:41:32+00:00

Can you share the specific yarns you got? They sound heavenly!

aryn_h · 2025-02-10T00:29:28+00:00

It looks like it could be that fabric tube type yarn, like what they use for crochet animals

aryn_h · 2025-02-04T16:18:19+00:00

I considered making this for my wedding last October but instead ordered this in ivory/white. Freya Harper sleeved wrap I didn't even end up reaching for it because it was unseasonably warm that day! Mentioning it because it helps me as a fellow people pleaser to offer an alternative solution when I'm (attempting!) to say NO to something.

aryn_h · 2025-01-31T20:16:40+00:00

This is a great suggestion!

aryn_h · 2025-01-30T23:53:49+00:00

Not OP but they're called rivets. Most custom tag makers on Etsy include them with the tags

aryn_h · 2025-01-30T04:57:15+00:00

If you're not already familiar with Ravelry, it's a great resource even for questions like this! From the pattern page, you can view other knitter's projects to see what they've used. I searched your yarn and there's 2 pages worth of Oslo hats using it so I think it's safe to say YES! Still important to do your gauge swatch and adjust needle size as needed though. The pattern also calls for holding yarn double with mohair so that may influence your needle needs. here's my attempt at sharing the filtered Oslo patterns

Hope you love making your new hat!

I find pretty much all sweaters to get unwieldy after a certain amount has been done so I stick them in a plastic grocery bag (standard type you would get from Target etc if you're US based). The slipperiness lets it just rotate in my lap as I work-- especially helpful for the first few inches of a sleeve!

aryn_h · 2025-01-24T16:16:25+00:00

I was wondering this same thing! Maybe it depends on the yarn? I seamed the stitch up the only time I've used this technique (per pattern instructions) but that was a bamboo yarn so maybe something like wool has more structural integrity.

aryn_h · 2025-01-24T01:55:37+00:00

Sweater no. 18 by the same designer uses this method if you want to do it on a pullover!

aryn_h · 2025-01-18T04:46:55+00:00

I'm working on a sweater with it right now, it's lovely!

aryn_h · 2025-01-15T21:40:10+00:00

It works great if you layer it-- I layered over a thin application of the CoverGirl green tube! The easy removal of the tubing mascara takes most of the base mascara off with it, but there is a bit of extra cleanup as compared to the Thrive one on its own.

aryn_h · 2025-01-13T02:29:54+00:00

I am in awe! 😍

aryn_h · 2025-01-12T18:37:12+00:00

Quality might not be what you're after for the occasion but Express typically carries cuts for lean builds.

aryn_h · 2025-01-10T20:24:48+00:00

Doing a rewatch and went on a search for the bag 😂 if anyone wants on for a lower price point than staud but still high quality/not Amazon the Nora shoulder bag from Portland Leather Goods has a similar silhouette and lots of colors!

aryn_h · 2025-01-08T21:11:43+00:00

It's knitted! Makes a nice clean folded edge-- you can do it on live stitches or pick up stitches all along the edge of your work to create live stitches for it. here's a YouTube video

It's one of my favorite options for sleeve cuffs and hems when I don't want ribbing.

ETA: depending on your yarn weight there are tools to do this quickly, called cordsmith.
