My first knit sweater and the lesson I learned
Some of you wanted to see the finished sweater, so here it is! I finished it on New Years Eve and have already had the chance to wear it.🧚🏼
I learned a lot in the process, but there is one thing I am particularly proud of - I didn't make it hard on myself. There was a part in the pattern where I could have done German Short Rows (they improve the fit around the neck), but as this was my first sweater I opted for the simple version and skipped the short rows. Normally I would be the one who does all the extra assignements and details, but this time I didn't want to overwhelm myself. I am really proud about that.🥰
I have already started my second sweater. Same pattern, but this time, I tried the short rows! It didn't feel overwhelming this time, because I already understood how a sweater is knit.
I will also change colors to make stripes on this sweater.
Takeaway - slow and steady keeps the joy and fun in the process💫 Doing everything at once will just add unnecessary stress!
