- Hi, I'm Milly and this is my vlog which is mainly about books I buy, books I read and the e-books I write.
I've now finished the cardigan that I told you about at the end of April. Am I happy with it?

What about adding a button to close the two sides together? The two front pieces are just kinda hanging--a button at the top edges would give support and let it hang better.
I was thinking the same thing - but couldn’t decide how many I needed. Maybe just the one would work.
That looks so cute and looks lovely on you 😊, nice work... I think u did a good job but I don't do crocheting but have been thinking of getting into crocheting myself to make things
Thank you - there are so many excellent tutorials on TH-cam which helped me when I started out. Bella Coco is one I go to regularly
The jacket is lovely. love those colors.
The only problem I see ( if you are ok with unsolicited feedback ) is that the sleeves seem too short on the top side which makes it look odd. The inside (as in under the arm) is longer than the outside (top) of the arm . I don’t want to use the word puckering because it’s not; but as the edges of the sleeves don’t meet up in a line across the arm - where the front and back panels are joined - this makes an odd V effect which makes it seem like the sleeve is too tight under the arms. Is that fixable?
Do you know, I'm not sure how I would even start to fix it. The pattern for the sleeve was just three squares sewn together and attached. They aren't a good fit, I agree, I just need help to fix it - I haven't got the experience. There must be a craft club in my area - I'll have to look around.
I made a hexagon cardigan (only my 2nd cardigan.) I had to solve lots of problems when making it: add width in the back, make the sleeves taper, add length when I've no more yarn and the company stopped making that colour. I finished it and it looked good enough to wear, then you know what? It stretched like a yoga afficionado! I couldn't wear it, it was about 4 sizes too big. I hope someone at the charity shop got it and it was perfect, but 😤!
Poor you. This is the fourth garment that I have tried to make and I think I’m going to stick to blankets and cushions. The first two came out huge - can’t wear them to go out but they were good fot keeping warm last winter 😂
@millysbookshelf2101 I'm trying to make a mesh top right now. I'm hoping that it'll be nice because it's supposed to be loose and that it won't be heavy and stretch because it's mesh. I suspect I might not have chained enough for it to be as baggy as I want, but I'm going to fix that with a row of flowers in squares down each side seam.
Sounds really nice - what colour? My problem is that I haven't got the experience behind me to know how to adjust when things go wrong.
@millysbookshelf2101 It's pale pink.
I don't have much experience making cardigans or jumpers, but I've made a lot of scarves and shawls which I usually give away because how many does one person need! So now I'm trying to do some tops. My advice is choose yarn you can frog, then you can try again if it's awful or gift it.
Good advice
