Although I neglected my sewing machine a bit the last few months, I did knit a lot. Hats, scarves, slippers, for myself and for other people. And the most fun part: I spread the virus, so in the end almost all the girls and even some guys were knitting. At parties and during classes, there was always someone knitting. I have a small project to share: a refashioned knit sweater. A friend had a gorgeous Icelandic sweater, but he didn't like the turtleneck. I figured since it was all hand knit, I could just unravel the collar and knit him a new one.
And it worked! I used similar sized round needles, and knitted a small collar in the same way the original collar was knit. It stands upright a little bit, but in the days after it lay flat a bit more. I thought that refashions were limited to fabric, but in Norway I discovered that even knitwear can be altered to look exactly the way you want it!
I love you! I the way how friends love each other!! Thank you! Sa :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this black balk makes it like really hard to guess who this person is.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a black circle around his hair would have had more effect :)
DeleteHow cool to see the turtleneck removal process :)
ReplyDeleteDo you think the turtleneck on the sweater should be removed as wel?

What do you think about it?
Yes this could work in the same way! And it would look better, imho :)
DeleteOkay.
DeleteSo you would unravel the turtleneck on this Norwegian sweater to if you got your hands on it?
Was it you who convinced your friend that the turtleneck had to og on his icelandic sweater too? :)
My friend asked me to do it. And yes I think a round collar looks better than a turtleneck.
