The pattern is the Cadence pullover:
I'm off yarn shopping this weekend, but I'm not sure whether to go for something nice (but therefore a bit pricey) or something cheap and cheerful, so that I won't be too distraught if I end up with a sack with one arm. What do you think? (Perhaps I've already answered my own question.)
Hurrah for the Bank Holiday weekend - hope you have lovely things planned. I'll be thinking about my autumn sewing plans and might even be so organised as to create a mood board and colour palette! (but let's not get too carried away - I might just snooze the weekend away; it's been a hectic week).
have a lovely weekend and speak soon x
YAY! Glad to see you are doing it too! I'm a complete newbie so should be interesting :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be really honest, Shivani, I'd avoid acrylic. Yes, it's cheap but it doesn't have much flexibility - which can be taxing for a novice knitter because there's just no give - and it can dry your hands out. I'd be tempted to take the pattern and show it to a member of staff in the shop. They'll be able to guide you towards an appropriate wool. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe more blogs I see this on, the more tempted I am to join in, although I'm not a newbie knitter.
ReplyDeleteI second the advice to avoid acrylic. Maybe something nice but mid-priced rather than expensive.
YAY! I'm so excited you're in! I agree with the avoiding acrylic sentiments. I can't stand the feel of it anymore. There are affordable wools out there but it takes some digging. Good luck!
ReplyDeletethanks for the feedback re acrylic - much appreciated. I shall steer clear!
