Elizabeth Zimmerman is the ultimate knitter without patterns. She wrote a number of books and she teaches you how to knit without a pattern. She's amazing. Her book Knitting Workshop is great for jumpers/sweaters.

Thank you! I'll check out her books

Катя, свитер классный получился. И даже несмотря на то, что ты говоришь о каких-то ошибках, пластичность пряжи все скрывает и свитер на тебе выглядит прекрасно!
Обожаю составы с хлопком и мериносом. На мой взгляд, это самый комфортный и приятный состав для подобных изделий.

[@ColorPopKnits]

Спасибо! После стирки ошибки не так заметны, так что я довольна :-)
Я вот не знаю другой пряжи с подобным составом, надо поискать, так как она и правда очень комфортная и в работе, и в носке.

@@ColorPopKnits drops “cotton merino”😉. Но она не такая пластичная и тяжеловата. Хотя тоже классная👍

We call it "waterkoud". 😉🐏

Sounds like the perfect name for a cold shower in the winter :-) I'll have to remember that, thank you!
