It would be helpful to talk more about fit. I think fewer people than you might think actually know how construction fits particular body types. How to measure a body is a part of this challenge. Also how to know if you have narrow vs wide shoulders… how to know if you have long v short torso and how those understandings may inform what construction you seek. Thanks for the discussion!
Good episode. After many, many cardigan searches, the one I landed on is the Curly Bomber by Tricot Design MCL. This choice was made mainly because the button band is worked at the same time as the body.
Hi. I really enjoyed this episode. I thought through many of the issues for choosing a cardigan pattern and yesterday cast on the Timepiece cardigan by Ailbiona McLochlainn yesterday. I believe this clever designer does not get the airtime she deserves . I am working the raglan increases in this top down, integrated button band, v-neck cardi. Her instructions are excellent whilst not being too wordy. Cheers, Ruth from Nova Scotia
Nice chat:) A thought on the “heaviness” of superwash yarn vs. non-superwash. That’s due to the superwash yarn usually being worsted spun and non-superwash yarn often being woolen spun. Woolen spun is lighter /loftier than worsted spun yarn - it’s not the superwash treatment itself that gives yarn more weight/heft. I’ve been pretty obsessed with cardigans recently, I’m far along with a Septmber jacket in a fairly heavy yarn combo, so it should double as a jacket - one advantage of cardigans.
Hi! I hope you will periodically record your progress together. Lovely podcast with great insights!
Great video ladies! I am now having visions of frolicking sheep shrinking as they sweat and felt themselves 🤣 I just so happened to cast on the Pressed Flowers Cardigan last night so it looks like I'm cardiganalonging with you!
I prefer to knit raglans. The increases look nice and easy to remember. However my best fitting sweater was a yoke 😢.
G’day Clo & Naomi, As previous comments I reaaaaalllly learnt a lot in this episode. Many thanks 👍🇦🇺
This was such an educational video in such a short period of time and the information was delivered so seamlessly .. thank you so much for putting this video together!
Great video and very helpful
Love your podcast Clo👌🙏💝
Oh my gosh this lady is SO SO informative! Thank you !
Wow, j'ai vraiment appris plein de choses! Merci pour ces précieux conseils, c'était très instructif, je crois que je vais le regarder encore!
Loved these two videos. I have been wanting to knit Pressed Flowers, so will find yarn for the knit along.
I’m so glad you brought up the point of not making a pull over into a cardigan. I’ve been obsessed with the Here comes the sun sweater, but was really close to buying and planning the pattern to be steeked.
What a fabulous episode packed with useful information! How I wish I had consumed this before making my first steek project modifying Andrea Mowry’s Metamorphic using Spincycle SW yarns, circular yoke construction and CO at neck rib, versus the yoke. It worked and I feel proud of my bold steeking action, but the garment wouldn’t be so droopy and oversized if I had not turned it into a cardigan. I thought the only mistake was not to change the CO to the yoke and return to pick up the collar ribbing for more structure but now I see how there was more than one factor in play here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I will be joining your KAL. I need to assess queue and stash but the Macaron Cardigan is in my queue already…
I had a problem with a card I recently that ended up being too small in the shoulders. I don't have broad shoulders at all, and that was disappointing. I was curious to know more about the saddle shoulders and the set in ones. Im going to find episode 1 now.
Interesting and educational video.
I'm planning on knitting Ozetta's Field Day cardigan. I love the look of it.
Loved this video. Do you have suggestions for how to find open front cardigans on ravelry?
