FanCityKnits 🇺🇦🧶

'bestrickend'

Handgesponnen und handgestrickt - und gar nicht auffällig, ich liebe diesen Mantel.

Handspun and handknit - and not at all flashy, I love this coat

@handarbeiten @fiberarts @knitting

@FanCityKnits I think I will go for it!!! Have enough yarn for the top part but need to ply it so that it’s apt for 7 mm needles instead of the 2.5 mm I have plied it into now. So maybe I’ll ply 3 of those.
What did you alter in the pattern? For size?

@maru

Needle size 😆

Let me dig into my ravelry notes ..

I had to use a factor 1.7 for stitch count, because my gauge was 22 sts/ 10 cm, but the given size was ok. So I multiplied the stitch count by 1.7 and went with it.

If you're on ravelry, you'll find my project easily.

@FanCityKnits yes I am on Ravelry (Thismau). Will look your project up! I’m expecting fleeces of sheep once they are shaved. In the meantime I can try to spin a bit thicker

@FanCityKnits few, found the pattern and found your notes. Have no idea if i can do it, this is a bit too advanced for me, but still i'm intregued so maybe i'll go for it and see where it takes me!
Did you make the bottom part an A-line (so wider)?

@FanCityKnits that's lovely, looks like a lot of work! :)

@nothe

Knitting took about 3 months, spinning and plying about 1.5 years. But I'm spinning way less then I'm knitting, so those projects tend to take much longer.

@FanCityKnits I hear ya, there! :) I just combined two of my recent spins and got ... a hat's worth, out. :P

@FanCityKnits that looks so cozy and I love the colors. Like a sunset.

@scarfwitch

Oh, I've never seen it like this, but I get where you come from.
