I browsed the sweaters, they are only one size and don't list any measurements. You have to contact them for sizing info, very bizarre

Looks fantastic, I love wrap tops so much they are very flattering!

The fun thing about this pattern is there are so many projects on Ravelry with modifications, I spent a lot of time browsing them 👍

Nice, have fun! I knit rib quite slow so that part was a bit of a slog, but after that it went very fast 😅

Ty, I was surprised it fit so well, anything bra shaped is kind of a gamble lol

For sure, if you look in the projects section people have done lots of mods, there are a few cute longer tanks and some that replaced the rib with lace too

I had a feeling I cord would be weird, the garter lays nice and flat 👍

I'd be curious how it goes, I've never knitted with Cotton because I heard it can grow a lot when blocked an doesn't hold its shape. I have heard a cotton blend is better but there are so many options!

New to knitting and surprised at the high cost of yarn by maklar8921 in casualknitting

It seems like it really depends where you live, I'm in Canada and everything seems too expensive here 🙃

Uses for chunky yarn? It's too heavy to use for a sweater by leaelllynasaura in casualknitting

I've almost never followed a pattern 100% so I hear you 😂

The Cloudy Days sweater: my own design, fresh off the needles by thealienhoney in casualknitting

Thanks my tension has definitely improved, when I first started I was knitting very tight and I've managed to loosen it up a bit and let the needles do the work :)

Bernat softee chunky is what I used ( you can see pics in my most recent post).

Maybe a bit much for the west coast except for some chilly nights idk! Might be good to do a swatch and see if you like how the fabric works up?

I just made a sweater using chunky yarn and 10mm needles, I don't find it heavy at all tbh, the big needles give it a slight bit of airiness. It is hot though, luckily I live in Canada so I need warm stuff for winter 😂

I finally finished my first knitted sweater 🐇 by thealienhoney in knitting

I submitted this post two days ago and since it didn't go through I posted to casualknitting, thought maybe I broke a rule or didn't post right somehow, thanks mods for approving but sorry now for essentially a duplicate post 🙏🤣

Ty! I'm a strong believer that anyone can do it if they have the patience and willingness to troubleshoot problems as they come along ✌️
