Let’s see your handcrafted sweater!

No matter if you’re just starting on your collar or you’re finishing up the final touches on your sleeves, we want to see what you’ve been working on.

As you get into knitting your sweater, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Evaluate your piece as you go to make sure you’re knitting with a similar tightness throughout your piece and not dropping or adding any stitches.
Give yourself time to learn each technique. Constructing some pieces of this sweater will take more tries than others and it's okay to come back to lessons more than once if you need to.
If the thought of knitting an entire sweater feels out of your comfort zone, break the project into chunks and set an achievable goal each week for the next month.
It’s okay to not be the best at something when you’re first starting. Let yourself be liberated by doing a craft because you enjoy it not because you are good at it.
