Harry Styles Cardigan ft. My sister

Lmaooo

Quick backstory I saw this cardigan on my tl one day and it's actually the reason I wanted to crochet clothes in the first place. But it seemed too difficult so I decided to make a different, simpler cardigan but couldn't find a design I liked hence the tops

But last week my sister texted me, showing me JW Anderson's cardigan pattern and said she wanted to make one and if I could teach her. Then that old spark ignited within me so I decided to take a crack at it

I'm excited cause the pattern is a knit pattern and I originally wanted to knit again anyways so it's like. Two of my original goals came together lol.

I will attempt my project with a different colour scheme though

This is my colour scheme

It won't be as chunky but I'm trying to cut costs here. I hope it turns out okay. This is my biggest project so far. Even bigger than the 2016 Tote Bag Project or the 2016 Beanie Project

Gonna quickly add this lol https://twitter.com/winqun/status/1298140846072586240?s=19

Also yes that means I need to teach my sister to knit nit only the basics, but all of the textures used. But so far she's a pretty quick learner but she told me it's cause she's DETERMINED to have this cardigan lol
This was taken 2 days ago

I gave my sister homework to master the basic stitches so we'll start once I see her work lol

FUCK I FORGOT TO INCLUDE IN THE TITLE WHICH PATTERN IM GONNA USE but anyways we're going to be following the original JW Anderson pattern (hopefully)

I'm done with my mpu so that means I'm free to pour my heart and soul into this project see yall (me) back here tomorrow

Anyways aluminium needles and hooks stat superior

I really wanna work on this project but fuck me the window guys were in my room for like FOUR WHOLE HOURS and then left my room in a state of chaos and desolation and by that I mean dust there was dust everywhere and all over my very messy desk

So I had to clean THAT up, dust in my nose. I gotta say tho the cleaning process really brought out my eczema

then it was 5.30 and I only finished brushing off dust from my belongings i haven't even put them back on the desk nor did I take off the protective sheet on my bed

Then i had dinner and took a nap.

Why am I telling all this you say? I promised to start today but idk if I'm able to cause idk if my sister would be willing cause she will get mad if I start without her

and oh! The window guys are coming again fucking TOMORROW

And I won't be home for the weekend! I fucking hate this

Man and just the other day those guys were able to install 3 windows in the living room for 2 hours but it took them 4 hours for MINE??? SUSPICIOUS

Okay so I haven't started the actual knitting but I finally reorganised my notes and figured out the texture assignment and now I'm planning the colour placements!!

It's such a stressful process yo

References

Row 11 and nowhere near 14 cm :')

11 cm

40 rows later!

Onto the next colour... luckily this texture gonna be a bit easier to mindlessly do

Yikes I thought I update more last night but I guess not. Anyways this took 46 rows of garter stitches and now onto the next colour

I can admit this is a lot of red tones but it will be beautiful and noy suffocating once I get the honeydewand blue in there I promise I have a Vision

In the title of this thread I said ft. My sister but I only showed her work once and it was only training not the actual cardigan knitting. But she kept on restarting so I'll take a pic later cause I wanna record her journey too

But here's the colour scheme for our cardigans lol completely different vibes

Also I just realised when did I stop typing like a progress journal? Why am I typing as if I actually have people reading this lmao
