This yarn has been sitting in my stash for a couple years, waiting for the perfect project. It’s Evergreen by Hobbii - a fingering weight, 100% non-superwash organic wool, in the colorway Seafoam. It has been discontinued, unfortunately. I had 250g (1260 yards/1152m) and I used up nearly every bit of it. The buttons are shell, and also from stash. Surprisingly, I even had matching thread on hand.
The pattern is the Basic V-Neck Pullover by Cleome Smith, and one I’ve made before. But, I wanted a lightweight, cropped-ish cardigan with not-long sleeves. The only modification was not joining in the center and adding a button band. I had no idea how far the yarn would go, so I knit everything but the sleeves, then divided my remaining yarn in half and knit the sleeves until I ran out. By some small miracle, the sleeves came out the perfect length to be comfortable (3/4).
I do need to work on my tension, though. My knit rows are too loose if I don’t loop my yarn around an extra finger.
I am making an effort to only make clothes for myself that work with what I already have. I spent the first half of the year consuming a ridiculous amount of information on capsule wardrobes, color palettes, and styles that work well with my body shape. But, I’m trying to build an every-day kind of wardrobe.
I’ll do anything to avoid it.
