Result after one week.
It was my first time using this technique for the border. So the border itself alone took 3 days. But I am happy with the results
I learned knitting when I was 6-7 years old. But after I left the Steinerschool I didn't knit that much anymore. I remember making a stola/shawl when I was 18. But that must be the only thing. I learned how to sew and that became my number one hobby. But when I got sick and I spent most of my time in the sofa I tried it again. Sadly enough I noticed it became to painful for my shoulders. So I switched to crocheting. I made many stuffed toys and shawls over the years. And then the cable needles became popular. I tried it and what a relief. It is so much more comfortable for my shoulders. So, new hobby/addiction unlocked. And busy with my first cardigan.
I hope to make a few cardigans this year. I love the process. But also as a statement against the ultra fast fashion. I sew most of my clothes. But wool cardigans, I still bought them. In theory I have enough clothes. But since knitting goes very slow, I am going to try to go slow and steady to make a full me made wardrobe. It will take years. But I enjoy the process. I have enough clothes for now, but I can replace pieces that get worn out by handmade items.
