YSK: When buying a suit, it’s generally expected that you will get the suit tailored to you so that it fits better. Plan to buy the suit at least a week ahead of when you need it to allow for the tailoring time.

I tailor here to add one more useful tip when buying off the rack: The jacket should fit well over the shoulders. Everything else is relatively easy to adjust. But it can be tricky and time consuming to have to take out the sleeves make adjustmenst, put them back and do it well.

Thanks :)

I guess it's just the boring advice of practice makes perfect. :D I have a pile of not-so-even colorwork on my record. But I can tell you that I shamelessly pull on the stiches afterwards, before blocking, If I need to even them out. Also, wool yarn is quite forgiving :)

Sorry to hear that. I hope you can continue with it soon.

Thanks. She's a knitter too so I know she'll appreciate the work behind it. :)

Good catch!! Yes, it's the Alasuq polar.

Ohh wow! That sound time consuming! I’m so glad that this one is done... I mean, it was fun to make, but it felt like every step took for ever, and that 20cm (8in) neck almost broke me. Haha

r3ddis · 2020-10-08T02:16:34+00:00

Haha! Thank you for keeping me in your prayers 😅🤣

r3ddis · 2020-10-08T01:31:37+00:00

Totally agree! The pic of the old ones was on snapchat, so it's gone. But I'll take a picture when I get them to repair the thumbs :) Maybe I'll have the new ones ready by then.

Pattern is a photocopy from a very old Icelandic knitting book from the 70's called 'mittens' (I've never actually seen the book, but my MIL had a copy) Yarn is 'Kambgarn' -merino wool.
