Sleeve cuff before & after ☀️
I’m the kind of knitter who needs two different kinds of projects going on: my main project, and my background project.
This one here is my background project. “Background projects” for me typically consist of mindless knits that I can travel with, that I can pick up whenever without needing to ease back into it. They’re essential when I’m in between projects or in transitional phases of a project (like designing, or blocking and needing to wait)—because if I just want to mindlessly sit down and knit, I already have a project to go back to instead of having to plan something new.
Right now, I’ve put aside the dress pattern to work on its tank top version, but before I can start knitting the tank top, I need to finish grading and writing it 🥸 So, I’ve been back to working on this cardigan!
This cardigan is completelyyy improvised. I have a general idea as to what I’m doing, but for the most part… I have no clue 😂 Which is why I had a sleeve initially done a few months ago, but now I’m doing the cuffs over again because I just now had a different idea…
