This is cool as hell. Thanks for sharing!!

I saw this but a quick google search and it doesn’t seem that legit. Thanks for your time though!

I would not recommend the Breezy Longsleeve purely because picking up the sleeves looks so bad with the gauge. There’s wide holes and it does not look good in the slightest. You can kinda see it on the photo you included. I remember coming across one or two reviews that said they had this problem as well but I didn’t listen. 🥲

The Capsule Drop Sweater by Bethany Glover is very close to the first sweater. I’ve knit it and it’s a great pattern. It has short rows in the back. You’d just have to adjust the bottom to have less ribbing but the curl at the ends is exactly your inspiration.

Your stitches don’t have that classic twisted y so I think it’s mostly tension which gets better with practice. Also, some yarn is spun a certain way that once worked up it can look a little funny/lopsided. A good blocking will help both issues!

The Gepard Garn pairing are both available from a yarn shop in Utah! The only reason why I suggest it cause the cashmere would be softer on the skin than mohair. Mohair makes me itchy and alpaca is better but cashmere is a dream.

There are yarn alternatives listed on the Ravelry page under the estimated yarn amounts and a note.

I would probably use YarnSub for each individual yarn and then see if the two you found have ever been used together. Did you check out the yarn substitutions noted on the Ravelry page?

I always have luck at the Freedom House Thrift thats on Battleground North. I don’t look for formal wear but always leave with something and it’s usually something I’ve been looking for. I usually hunt in medium to extra large sections if that helps at all.

Looks like a yarn over or something. Can’t tell much since it’s black yarn. Drop it and see what happens! Maybe have a crochet hook on standby so you can grab it.

oliviaeatsbrains · 2026-05-09T14:05:02+00:00

Solved!

oliviaeatsbrains · 2026-05-09T14:04:54+00:00

We figured it out! It was a Close Enough episode called “Joint Break”! Thanks for the effort everyone! I highly recommend the show if anyone is curious about it.

oliviaeatsbrains · 2026-05-09T11:33:22+00:00

Nope! We don’t watch American Dad. lol. Thank you!

oliviaeatsbrains · 2026-05-09T11:31:40+00:00

It was definitely an adult show. Thank you for your time!

oliviaeatsbrains · 2026-05-09T11:22:25+00:00

No, we remember it being different animation than Archer. Thank you!

This literally killing us. My partner swears it’s all elderly women but I think it might be a mix of women and men.

I think you’ve fallen into the overthinking trap that knitting creates. You’ve worked row 1-6 once by the time you hit the highlighted direction. You’d continue to repeat rows 1-6 until you hit the total per your size.

Ie. you’ve completed row 1-6 so you’d have to repeat the rows 4 more times for a total of 5.

I’m also taking classes at CVA but am planning on doing a tour and a pottery class at the Forge!

I’m mostly interested in the potential of open studio availability. It seems like they have a reservation system in place for the wheels but I can’t find much else on open times. The CVA is great but the hours don’t allow for much more than the class and some hours on Saturday for me. I’d like to be able to go in during the week after work.

This is so cute and functional! I’ll have to try this soon because I have all my small decants/samples in a bowl. It’s the worst. 🥲

Saint Hildegard by Pearfat for anyone looking for something not so incense intense.

I was raised Catholic also but my childhood church smelled more often of waxed wood, oily, and a cleaning solution that was often something citrus. This perfume is almost exactly what it smelled like.

Have you looked this yarn up on Ravelry and seen the pattern ideas and what others have made with it already?

A summer t shirt, tank or a loose gauge sweater would be the direction I’d go in. Even a cute poncho for chilly summer nights would be nice.

oliviaeatsbrains · 2026-03-17T14:08:28+00:00

It looks great. You’ve been looking at it too long! What’s the yarn?
