I dug out this jumper today for a yarn-based job interview and got weirdly nostalgic.
I knit this jumper in my first year of university over the course of a summer far too hot to be using aran weight yarn, and it was my go-to hoodie for most of uni. I packed it away when I moved, wrongly believing that knitted sweaters cling to my chest in the wrong way. Then I abandoned it, too worried that I’d grown out of it.
It’s a bit short in the body, but otherwise it fits perfectly, and the hood is still the most drapey, best-fitting hood on any of my clothes. Not only have I re-found my winter fave, I’ve now got the sweater-bug.
Anyone got any good recommendation for men’s/unisex cabled sweaters? I think the bulk of the cables helps cover my chest.
(Pattern is Lichen from Rowan winter collection… ‘08 maybe? I added the hood, as the original had a shawl collar.)

Girls got skils.
Making a watermelon hat for the GF’s sister.
How are the color choices?
Question time.
Is there any functional difference between winding two yarns together in the cake, vs having two separate cakes?
Well.
Decided to start and finish my friends husband’s evergreen agathis hat for the ravellenics.
11.5 hours of knitting later, here we are.
(I love this color.)
Ok everyone.
Opinion time.
There are a lot of incredible shawl patterns out there, snowy owl, treasure island, papillon, etc.
And I’m honestly kind of jealous.
Is there any rule out there that says men can’t wear shawls?
(Ok. Maybe not for me, but still.)
I mean, look at these.
Behold my knitted ram’s head masterpiece hat.
