Lydia Morrow has come out with my dream cardigan! It has optional bust and hip shaping, as well as a crop version, with button band or icord closure options. As with all her patterns, there is also a sliding pay scale to make it accessible for all who wish to knit it.
Lydia works really hard to make sure she’s putting out patterns that prioritize fat people—not just fat afab! Her husband tries on all her designs and they’re made so one can have a little, a lot, or no bust room. The project language reflects that, and it is described neutrally.
If you’d like to support her work without even buying anything, follow the ravelry link to the project to help it trend!
If ravelry is inaccessible for you, the pattern is available on her website as well.

Another finished object from 2023 and the second "better late than never" FO post, the Three Season Cardigan designed by Wool and Pine that I made for my mom! Charts are hard for my brain, but this turned out so well it was definitely worth it!

On the way from fluff to hoody.
Fiber is merio top - three different colorways from different dyers ( And Your Little Dog Too from Southern Cross Fibre, Sweater Weather from Apothefaery, and Bbáirín breac and some scraps from a sweater bag from Hello Yarn) for two of the three plies, with the third from some dark purple top dyed by me.
I spun the singles on my Traveler, short forward draw (my default), and then plied on my Traditional with a bulky flyer. I think there’s roughly three pounds of DK weight yarn, though I didn’t measure length (or grist).
I finished it last winter. I got a new puffy jacket, and that lead to a desire for a hoody to wear under it. After coveting a hand knit hoody in the crowd around Christmas, I decided to make one.
The first pattern got ruled out due to my gauge swatch (why was it 19 stitches/4 inches on size 5 needles?). The next pattern I found was free, so I’m probably going to change things as I go. It’s Bpt by Rebecca Hatcher. We’ll see how the color changes work with the cables. I also followed various project notes and used extra stitch markers to remind myself where the second set of increases go. And then some more for the non-increase cables, because I love to make/use stitch markers. Stitch markers are glass lentil beads and seed beads on purple coated wire.

Anyone interested in a cardigan update? Too bad I'm doing it anyways because I finished another pattern repeat which means I only have one more repeat and the ribbed edging to go on the body. Which is 24 rows. And by my math I *should* have enough yarn. But it's my math soooo we will see. Anygay!

For this WIP Wednesday, we have a completed project reverted to a WIP! I girlbossed a little too close to the sun and thought I could just add some shaping to the collar without knowing what I was doing. Then I sort of fixed it in a really clumsy way and thought it was good enough. But I pulled it out to wear it today and just couldn't stand the sight of it so I ripped it back and I'm just going to do it right!
This yarn was very hard to rip back but I have gotten much better at inserting the needles into the row I want to start from. It's so dang hard to know where to put the needle in all that chaos.
But this raglan cardigan was such an approachable pattern! The error was 100% on me. And it's cozy af for working at home in a drafty old Colorado house.
Pattern: Simply Stated Cardigan by Ashley Lillis (link) (She has gobs of amazing free patterns and tutorials and shole could really charge like $10 a pattern but she doesn't)
Yarn: Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick and Quick in Spring e
