#throwbackcardigan

I haven’t shared this one in a while, but I am very close to finishing up this cardigan. I just weaved in my ends for a quick blocking before adding a button band and steeking. Worried about the fit as I’ve jumped in weight to perhaps the size I was four years ago, which is a fast weight gain since quarantine, but I’m trying to be nice to myself as a lot is going on and continues to go on. Hopefully a quick block will help me feel better about it.

I have been living in my Throwback Cardigan the last couple of weeks! I favored my pullover version this winter, but the my cardigan has been my go to accessory this spring. It’s been a perfect substitute for a coat and the colors give me all the spring time feels. I’ve always had mixed feelings about cardigans but now I’m feeling like I want more! The pattern is Throwback Cardigan by @dreareneeknits and I used my Everyday Worsted base in Wicked for the main color, Robin’s Egg, Eclipse, and Sugar Cookie for the details. . . #ontheround #throwbackcardigan #dreareneeknits #andreamowry #knitting #ravelry #springtimeinmaine (at Owls Head, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxzcy5spvEs/?igshid=1pa0jtd9vicnk

I’m currently in the weeds with my research proposal and my mental health has drastically declined, but I have been carrying this basket around for over a month now and I’ve been calling it my basket of joy. My current project gets dragged around with me throughout the house and I try to get a few stitches in when I can. It’s actually how I finished my Electric Love shawl. Now, I’m picking my Throwback cardigan back up since pre pandemic times. All it needs is a sleeve, a collar, and the front ribbing before I steek it.

I started a new project for myself since I’ve officially finished all of my Christmas knitting and finished the body of my Elton cardigan. I needed a break from fingering and lace weight yarn before I went and picked up the sleeves for that cardigan. So, I started my Throwback Cardigan Kit that reminds me of home thanks to that wonderful burnt orange color. So far it’s been going really great. This is the first time I’m attempting to modify a pattern for in the round knitting with steeking and colorwork of any kind.

Quietly moving along another #throwbackcardigan and about half way on a #neatrippleblanket #craftsastherapy #ptsd is a serious problem so much slower going I have to make myself craft to keep the black dog at bay #dancingwiththeblackdog #knittersofinstagram #mamimaycrochet #crochetersofinstagram 💕🦄💕🦄💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bye8M3-peYE/?igshid=lc8aoxeeeukm
