I found this really cool yarn in a random Tedi Store, but they only had 2 skeins in stock. I tried checking back in that same store for a month, but it never was restockend. Tiny sweater it is then!

How is it like to be talented? Asking for a friend.

You're halfway through it! Good job so far!

Sorry, sorry, I couldn't resist the stupid joke. Looks really nice!

Haha thanks! I'm definitely keeping an open mind to extending the sweater if I ever come across the right yarn again haha

That's so good, I especially love the back, and the slight puff at the ends of the sleeves!

That's awesome! I really dig the colour contrast and the slightly puffy sleeves.

Love those colors!! Do you happen to have a pattern you used for the sweater? Its sleeves look really cool!

[–] python@programming.dev 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks!! I'm not good with instructions, so the whole thing was just kinda winged haha. I've jotted down a quick sketch of what I remember for you though, hope it's clear enough!

Oh wow, that is so sweet of you! I thought maybe you used a pattern that you could just link, didn't expect you'd do a sketch 😮

Interesting that you used so much back loop stitches. The main part were sc or hdc? And doing many rows of slip stitches is pretty painful, isn't it??

How awesome that you just improvised the whole thing! You must be a pretty good crocheter :)

[–] python@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

The main part was back loop single crochet, though I think in hindsight back loop hdc might have looked better !

The slip stitches for the cuffs are pretty bearable as long as you keep them super loose.

And thanks! ^^ I've only been crocheting for like 2 or 3 months, the improvisation is just because I'm very adamant in taking the beginner privilege of fucking around to learn haha

"Shut up, Wesley."

(is what it reminds me of)

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Awesome colour combos. Looks great.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Sweet threads! The colour scheme reminds me of Gamechanger Game Show set.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Very cool! I’ve never quite seen a design like that, nicely done.

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

That is indeed a funky sweater. Looks cool.

Also, TIL the programming instance has a Crochet community. Neat.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

[–] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago
