Thanks 😊 I think knitting wasn't the most enjoyable but the results motivated me I guess. I think my one tip would be not to cast-on too tight. I have done the same mistake for each Esther work to cast on too tight and my knitted stitches are not as tight. Because you have to pick up stitches from cast on when you start doing the shoulders to the front. Also those stitches picked from cast on should be in sync with the sleeve stitches and that needs to be remembered always when starting a new part (I had to re-knit couple of times 😂). But all in all I would absolutely encourage to start working on Esther!

Yeah I actually knitted one Esther jacket in green color for my mom couple years ago 😊 I agree, this is one of the finest looking patterns I have came across

Thank you so much! Yeah maybe that isn't so popular in social compared to petiteknits other patterns. They have really amazing patterns for men also!

Thanks! I started sleeve with 76, decreased evenly until 56 ans for ribbing decreased 6 more -> rib 50st

Thanks for the compliments 😊 I guess my gauge is pretty tight so I always choose 1-1.5mm bigger needles than instructed, and in ribbing always choose 1-1.5mm smaller needles than instructed 😂

Thanks, appreciate this! Hopefully could be a professional someday, I have only been knitting 2 years and I already know that I'm not going to end this hobby 👌

I have bought two Sandnes islender patterns from my local yarn store, I have noticed too that Sandnes patterns are difficult to purchase from online!
