Same yarn, same pattern – but two different sweaters?!
That’s what happens when you knit with different tension! 🧶
@woolfrentz is a tight knitter, while my friend @wollnwirmal knits loosely to normal – and the result speaks for itself.
The sweater on the left is knitted more loosely, while the one on the right is knitted much more tightly. Did you get it right?
That’s why a proper gauge swatch is key – it can completely change the fit, the size, and even your yarn usage!
Are you Team tight knitter or Team loose knitter? 🙌🏼

Gleiche Wolle. Gleiches Muster. – und trotzdem zwei verschiedene Pullover?!
Das passiert, wenn man unterschiedlich fest strickt! 🧶
@woolfrentz strickt superfest, @wollnwirmal eher locker bis normal – und der Unterschied ist unglaublich deutlich. 😅
Der Pullover auf der linken Seite ist lockerer gestrickt, während der Pullover auf der rechten Seite viel fester gestrickt ist.
Hast du es richtig gesehen?
Genau deshalb ist die Maschenprobe beim Stricken so wichtig – sie entscheidet über Passform, Größe und sogar über den Garnverbrauch.

We all mess up sometimes. I started twisting my cable in the wrong direction halfway through this vest, and I didn’t notice until I was almost done! 🤦♀️ I braved the challenge and unzipped the cable to try to fix it without ripping out all my work.
I managed to get it looking more like it is supposed to. How do you think I did?🥰

The evolution of Jake’s sweater. I loved this pattern a lot but I did have to add in stitches to make it a little bit wider for the fit that he wanted!

One last reel of Moby to show off the magic of blocking!! This sweater went from MEH to WOW because soaking it in water allowed all the cables to relax. I am a huge advocate for blocking your knits, especially wool pieces!

From Moby Sweater to Moby Slipover ✂️
This project turned into a full-on knitting surgery.
Plan A didn’t work (that dropped shoulder rib just wasn’t it), so I went for plan B: steel time and cut even more 🫣
Now it’s finally coming together and I’m so happy with how it’s turning out! 💚
A bit of courage, a few deep breaths, and a lot of wool magic.
Have you ever completely changed a project halfway through? 👀

progress
slow and steady on the moby sweater man. it can be difficult to enjoy every stitch and appreciate the time spent knitting a garment while trying to finish it on a deadline, but here we are, the shoulders are joined and i'm hoping to get the front section completed today or tomorrow and start the marathon that is the body of a mens sweater 😅

every step of knitting includes just trusting the process and that is so sinister to me

🕰️✨ Just a sneak peek into my knitting world: a sweater in the making and a master thesis on my plate. 💻🧶 ‘Cause good things, whether stitches or ideas, take time. Here’s to hoping the holiday break brings more cozy knitting moments. 🌟

These two in their #mobysweater make me get all teary.
