Boleros, Cardigans and Shrugs in heavy yarns oh my!

Boleros, Cardigans and Shrugs in heavy yarns oh my!

I don’t know about you, but when September rolls in I feel the need to break out the cardigans. We have decided to change this KAL/CAL up a bit and ask that you use heavier yarns for your jumpers, such as worsted weight and higher (thank you Erica for the idea!)

As someone who self-drafts or has to resize vintage patterns, I fully appreciate the adventure of using these systems. I mentioned in a recent post that it is time for me to level up my sewing skills and I personally think that this is the way to to do it, not to mention, I can…

We have went through three-plus months of minimal sun and it has not only been affecting my mood,…
