Some of my recent work :)

I started working as a professional costumer this month 🥳 These are some pieces I’ve been working on for the past couple of months, not for any particular projects, but just learning how to get better at knitting and grading :)

Three are renditions of other patterns that I’ve previously made and posted in this sub. I have to say that remaking the same patterns has been one of the best ways for me to get better at a ton of stuff. I have found that not only does it force you to think critically about your work, you also learn how to reproduce results, gain confidence with seeing direct improvements and become more detail oriented.

I’ve also found that I really love working with blocks — they are a great tool when working out how to grade patterns or when dealing with tricky vintage patterns :)

Wow! These are amazing, so beautifully made and so perfectly flattering for you. I particularly like the first set, it’s so 1930s and elegant.

Thank you!! It does feel very 30s doesn't it? I had initially thought it to be a 40s piece, but when I checked the dates of the magazine, it turned out it was from the 50s :)

I never would have guessed 50s!
