I knitted a cardigan from TV show 'Succession' & more - Seedling Stitch Knitting Podcast - May 2024
**May 2024 - Seedling Stitch Knitting Podcast**
Long time no see! I've been busy with life but also have been knitting a lot! I finished the Logan Roy Cardigan inspired by the HBO TV show 'Succession' and made it into a FREE Japanese-styled pattern. I also made a hat with the same stitch pattern. Then there are the summer projects: HIMMEL camisole, joyful Stardew Valley socks, crochet baskets & a sewn camisole dress. I'm buying a new home in June and will be busy with moving & home decor for my knitting corner! This will be the last episode filming at this place!
Happy knitting,
💚 Athena

    Hi Athena! I found your podcast through your beautiful Vine tee pattern, which I want to make! (It will be my first sweater...). I just need to order the Sandnes Line yarn. I'd love to see you feature more Japanese designers! I love Japanese design. I'm not as familiar with Chinese designers. My primary problem with Asian pattern books is that the patterns are too small. My bust is about 50", and many of those patterns aren't size inclusive.

    • @SeedlingStitch
      @SeedlingStitch 13 днів тому

      Thank you! Yes, Japanese patterns are mostly designed for average Japanese women’s size, but there is a trend for becoming more inclusive. Check out Michiyo’s 4 size knitting (Japanese pattern book).
