The Field Day cardigan by Ozetta 2.0. Last year I made this pattern with a poor yarn choice that was unsuitable for garments in general as it stretched out a lot with just one wear. This time I decided to treat myself with Noro yarn since I’ve heard good things about it and was intrigued by the colors.

The pattern is a boxy drop shoulder cardigan with short row shaping in the back and the button band being knit along with the body. I enjoyed the pattern a lot, which was why I was willing to do it again when my first attempt didn’t turn out so well.

With the Noro yarn, this project turned out better than I imagined. Knitting with this yarn has been a great experience so it felt like it flew off the needles. I love the colors, which kinda remind me of confetti, and it’s colorful without being too flashy, so I can throw it on any outfit easily. The varying thickness of the yarn also made the experience more interesting and give the fabric some character. Warning though, some parts are loosely spun, so it will break if you pull too hard, such as when you’re doing Italian bind off.

Look at all of these fun colors! This blanket wip is coming along quickly 🌈🔥💗

This is just a work in progress update. The pattern is coming soon 💞

First up: the yarnening. We’ve got a Stephen West shawl knitting wip, a piano keys shadow knit test strip, a finished lil baby blanket for a fresh new nibling, some attempt at a vest (on pause currently but i forget why, just annoyed i guess?), a start at a sweater until I ran out of yarn (currently on pause while I debate frogging/restarting at better size/finding different yarn to keep going for colorblock look), and the first baby blanket for a different nibling (took too long to make it in time for birth, gave it for first bday instead)

a diagram of a sweater pattern that I knitted a year ago.

for convenience, and in order not to once again turn on the phone or computer, I drew a diagram on paper and made my calculations.

Finished this sweater for a friend of mine!
