[@44jaxmom]

Beautiful cardigan!. My first time viewing your channel and I enjoyed your discussion of your process and it was very helpful. I will continue to follow !!

Le pouf is free on ravelry also! My 2 LYS stores did a knit a long… a Le pouf-a-louza. About 35 people participated and we had a bbq to show off the finished and in progress sweaters. It was a lot of fun! Yours is gorgeous!

[@CandiB.Knittin]

@karinzamora6941 mmmm knitting and barbecue! Yes, the pattern is linked to ravelry but it will ultimately take you the hedgehog fibres website to download.

I didn’t know that about measuring the upper bust- that could explain why I have fit issues with most sweaters. Thank you for sharing!

[@CandiB.Knittin]

@karchermakes so glad I was able to share something helpful.

[@MarquitasKnottyCrush]

Lovely for Fall and and summer! Do you prefer steam blocking to wet blocking?

[@CandiB.Knittin]

@@MarquitasKnottyCrush yeah, it's the perfect time of year for this piece. I much prefer wet blocking. It gets me much closer to what the final worn project will look like, and I use a lot of second-hand yarn, so I want to make sure my finished objects are super clean before wearing and storing.

I've started the le Pouf cardi but row 3 stumps me. Do you start the 8 stitch increase in the beginning and do it also at the end of row 3. It says do twice, twice where?

[@CandiB.Knittin]

The part in parentheses is what you're repeating twice. So if you've placed your markers correctly per the set up row, follow the instructions within the parentheses then do them once more and you will have worked all your stiches and increased a total of 8 stiches. Let me know if that helps!
