Lovely stitches 😊. Lovely.wool , yummy sweater. Did you think of using fleece fabric to line the zipper area instead of Yarn? Alt. You could use drops nord and make a thinner lining. I think I might use fleece , and make a much wider lining because I cycle and the wind always comes into the chest through the knitted fabric..

Beautiful sweater, thank you for showing how the zipper gets sewn in, very intimidating at first, Can you please show or explain your Italian cast-off? do you have a video you followed or do you have one that shows it slower? i tried to watch you but you are super fast, your bind-off looks so neat, unlike mine, I was watching the Ane Wetzel Video on how to do this, some are suggesting a 2-row setup, and then others just go for it, please let me know how you make your bind off, I want to learn it your way, Cute dog sleeping next to you keeping you save,

Thank you so much for sharing your knitting journey. I have lots of Drops Nepal to use up & from your recommendation the Zipper Sweater seems like the perfect project. Did you know Drops have another sale on currently lol. Can i ask you what needle size did you use for the ribbing & body, also trying to find your zipper sweater light & what yarn you used for this. I tried using drops nord double strand with kid silk mohair. Big fan from Ireland here.
@norwegianknitter Жыл бұрын
Thank you! I used 4mm for the neck ribbing, 5mm for all of the stockinette and 4,5mm for the ribbing on the sleeves and body😊 I've not made the zipper sweater light for myself yet, but going to be knitting it in drops Daisy, and I've knit one for my fiancé in drops Karisma🥰

Thank you!! Watching the cast on for the collar…. I get it! Also watching the bind off (which I’m doing right now on a vest) I see how smoothly you do in 2 steps. You are my knitting guru 😁 I will cast on my zipper sweater today. Also I wanted to ask if you would use mohair in a 9 mo. old baby hat? I wonder if it would be itchy
@norwegianknitter Жыл бұрын
Good luck with the zipper sweater!! I've used mohair for baby projects before, and I like it for babies above 3 months, but I know some people don't at all, mostly because it can shed quite a bit. But I would say go for it!

Hvordan holder Nepal seg etter bruk i en stor genser? Nupper, fasong osv. Har kun brukt det til barnehagevotter til gutta! Jeg har også strikket zipper man, men i Dsa Sterk holdt dobbel, og det har ikke holdt på fasongen 😵💫
