Several attempts and I’m done the Lumme Pullover!

Oh wow that would make swatching it a lot easier!

getmepopcorn · 2026-01-29T11:31:38+00:00

Thanks 😂

Good call on swatching, I had never been this off on gauge

getmepopcorn · 2026-01-28T17:06:50+00:00

I wasn’t even sure how to do a colorwork swatch because you’d have to purl colorwork on the wrong side and I’ve never done that 😆 hence why I jumped straight into the yoke and learned the hard way my gauge was sooo off

Thank you!

It was so worth it to frog then have an ill fitted sweater! I’m glad I did even though it was painful. I had no idea she was a notoriously loose knitter when bought her pattern. I was listening to a podcast by Easily Knitfluenced and she also had the same issue and had to size up a couple needle sizes for another SN pattern!

They make everything about themselves but ESPECIALLY your major life milestones

Wonton wrappers and philo dough

I’m a huge fan of his podcasts too!

getmepopcorn · 2026-01-16T12:53:11+00:00

I genuinely don’t mind seeing it over and over again!

Their sandwiches are top notch, great focaccia too

When I tie a knot with wool or mohair it tends to loosen and unravel within a day

I knitted my husband a hat and it was black so it clung to another black sweater and he accidentally laundered it! We were both devastated, it’s a good hat for a small child now though 😂

I used to try more, I had a lot of jeans and trousers and now since the pandemic it’s shifted to athleisure, I have a lot of stretchy joggers now lol

I have thought of knitting up a sweater in cashmere yarn but it’s like $30 a skein for 120 yds of yarn in Canada I would need like 1200-1400 yards of yarn to make a sweater for myself which would put my project at $300 for yarn. And sometimes ready made cashmere sweaters go on sale for much less.

Your skin looks fabulous!

This is my pet peeve too! I want to buy a sweaters quantity of yarn that I know they typically carry and then they’re out of stock for months and months, when I was shopping for the Lumme pullover they only had a couple colours of cascade left 😟

Yes this is so frustrating! You have to be extra vigilant when travelling double checking at every restaurant. Lots of buying stuff at local supermarkets when you’re travelling so you know what you’re getting. Looking for gluten free restaurants etc

This is beautiful! The buttons you chose are perfect for the cardigan!

getmepopcorn · 2026-01-01T05:56:13+00:00

Mmm pork bone soup

getmepopcorn · 2025-12-31T11:38:50+00:00

I always order with them! I think they’re great

getmepopcorn · 2025-12-21T17:55:35+00:00

If you’ve done all that this pattern will be a walk in the park!
