In order to re-knit a jumper, sometimes you’ve got to completely unravel two of the sides (the front and back are the bundles of yarn just under this text).
Then you’ve got to sew it together….
….and you’re good to go!
I’m very happy with the neckline, because I usually cast off really tightly. This time I thought ‘loose’ thoughts while casting off and it worked!
Petra informs me this is now her favourite jumper.
The next mini-project after Tea at Yaz’s will be to expand Petra’s wardrobe a little – I have a pair of pants that needs a new waistband, then perhaps more jumpers are in the picture.
Anyways, see ya!

Oh, it seems to fit so much better now! I giggled at your description of how you got the cast-off to be looser. That’s what I have to do when making the starting chain in crochet, too. I can’t believe how tiny those knit stitches are!

😂😂😂 Thank you! Have you tried using a hook a size larger to do your starting chain? I’ve seen that around as a tip for tight crocheters. 😊
