Episode 28: Cutting a steek in my Skye
This week I have prepared a bit of vloggy content! I decided to make my failed Skye pullover into a win - you can watch me put a steek into it and transform it into a cozy oversized cardigan. Also I’ve completed the Timothy pullover for my kid, made some progress on my Nighthawk vest and started swatching for the Yell cardigan! ❤️

#FairisleVestKAL - will run until October 10th, 2021, when I will draw winners from FO-thread on Ravelry and on the instagram hashtag. I’m making up a couple of colourwork kits as prizes for the knit-a-long that I hope you will like.
If you want to join the KAL there is plenty of time. I have made a collection on Ravelry with some of my favourite patterns that are available on the platform. I will keep adding to this list as I find new inspiring designs.
