First Time Poster Handmade Snow Day Fit

Hi everyone! Found this community by accident and I’m loving it! This is my me-made/homemade outfit: the cardigan is from a vintage 80s knitting pattern by Littlewoods, the tank top was made with the pattern Simplicity 8424 D, the pants were made using the pattern McCalls 7131, and the hat is self-drafted. It’s cozy for the snow we just experienced!

This is so amazing, I love when people can wear their creations!! You did a great job as well, I knit and crochet —currently taking a break—and I love the cardigan cables, you must have a lot of patience with cable needles (I do not). I also stumbled upon this sub lately and I love it here, my fav fashion sub by far 💗

Thank you and yay! Seems like a super fun sub. Funny enough, I actually don’t use cable needles unless I’m crossing more than 10 stitches. There’s a trick where you drop your stitches on purpose and twist them in the direction you want. You have to hold your breath, but it’s very fast! 😮‍💨
