    I saw Bernadette Banner wearing a cycling blouse and loved it. I'm so glad your video showed on my feed because I know now that I can make one. The confusion you maybe had about the 11 inches it called for from the waist to bust is this: Victorian Underwear. They had constructed undergarments like stays and corsets so that's why your pattern called for so many inches: to accommodate the underwear the ladies wore. Modern times are just a bra or a bra and camisole which is less structured and many fewer inches than the Victorian shape they wore under their clothes. Good job fitting yourself so you didn't have to remake so much of it again.

      You definitely can! Personally, I had a lot of fun knitting the sweater, even though I made a few mistakes.
      That is quite possible. I'm just finishing the undergarments, so I've never been able to test if the measurements will fit, but I'm excited to see if the sweater will still fit once I put all the layers on top of each other, as it should.

    This turned out beautifully! A cycling sweater is on my knitting bucket list but after seeing how much work this was it might have to wait a while longer 😉 Really well done!

      Thank you very much!
      I can understand that well. Although it doesn't take quite as long if you don't keep undoing it as I did. The knitting itself is actually fairly straightforward. :D

    A fantastic result for quite a challenging project. I particularly like the sleeves and the neckline which are really quite 'elegant'. Thinking then this would be great as a top with a skirt or pants for the evening or a formal event rather than as (only) a 'sporty; garment .

      I actually wear it in a more formal context than "sporty".

    I think you always have to take vintage knitting patterns with a grain of salt because they were written with one very specific size and body shape in mind. It turned out very beautiful :)

    • @ankanyofficial
      @ankanyofficial  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, absolutely. Apparently, there was no consent on how to write a knitting pattern or what measurements the knitting needles have. So everyone did their own thing.

      According to my notes, I cast on 314 stitches in the round. That should be the amount I used for the second attempt.

    Welcome to why I HATE bottom up sweater knitting. Don’t argue with me on this! Anyone sporting more than a B cup KNOWS!!!! Bottom up sweater knitting is the devil’s work!! It IS!!
    Top down ONLY!!!! Unless it’s socks 🧦. Then, the opposite is true. Socks 🧦 are toe up! There is no changing my mind on this.

    • @ankanyofficial
      @ankanyofficial  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I guess I should try knitting a top down sweater. I am not familiar with that so, when I make my own pattern, I usually refer to the one I already know.
      But learning something new is always great, especially if it might hold some improvements in the fitting process.
