Purple Stripes Gone Crazy

Hello little blog of mine. I've been away for a while, getting ready for Christmas and then been caught up in many projects. You know how it goes, crafters gonna craft!

Nonetheless, I want to show you my latest knitted piece of clothing I finished in November. I might have mentioned it before, I was trying my hand for the first time at a garment for me. I did knit some baby clothes in the past, but never a real garment for an adult.

The Stripes Gone Crazy pattern was in my favorites on Ravelry for quite some time and I really liked the design. So, I purchased some purple Comfy fingering and grabbed my needles! It knitted up more quickly than I thought and even tough the design is a bit complex, it wasn't that difficult. The shoulders, which is the first part that you knit, is the most complicated I would say. But if you take your time, and make sure you follow the instructions everything comes together smoothly.

I really like the final result. The use of the stripes is really clever and uncommon. I also love the Comfy yarn. The colors are bright but not to vibrant and it is so so soft, just as the name suggests. Plus the easy care of cotton is a relief to me.


I'm eager to make another cardigan or maybe a sweater but I'm working on a secret project right now! Hope I will be able to share it soon. Have a nice week end all!
