I started knitting specifically with this project in mind and was so happy once I was able to make it.

Hi. I am not familiar with knitting at all. May I ask why you feel it’s not perfect? Just trying to understand if it’s a personal opinion or actual fault somewhere (that I don’t see).
I’m probably my own worst critic, but I guess some spots don’t look as “polished” or “neat” to me as I’d like. Some of the ribbing on the neck collar looks a little uneven. It’s just small things that are probably more noticeable to me than anyone else. Also, it was only the 2nd sweater I ever knit, so I’m self-conscious about how good my work looks to anyone else.

Said every creative ever.
Don’t be so harsh on yourself, it’s awesome! The imperfections are the perfect level that will make another knitter go “Oh wow that’s selfmade. So cool!” while other people won’t notice them at all. Really nice work!
I haven’t zoomed in or anything but I couldn’t notice anything wrong or particularly un-neat. It just looks handmade to me. Nice work!
There’s always little things we notice in our own projects that are basically invisible to the non-knitter. It’s our curse!
It was amazing before I noticed the owls. The owls made it perfect. Pure art.
It took me awhile to see that they’re owls, but damn I’d kill for that during winter right now.
Awesome! The owl pattern around the top looks really cool.
Absolutely love this. The buttons at the top also make for a nice detailing contrast.
Love it! I saw the owls straight away!
You had me to go back and find them, really nice!
Took me a while to see it. There are little owls around the neck. Nice pattern and we’ll done.
This is amazing!!! Some of the small things you notice will even out / disappear from your mind in time. It looks great on you too!
Fucking doooope! More crafts to Lemmy!!! Hazaaah
Wow, amazing.
It looks great, and you look great in it! Nice work 👍
Congratulations on your project! I’m just starting my knitting journey as well, with a pullover as the end goal. How long was it before you felt comfortable tackling the project? The color is lovely! (Also, your hair is stunning, if you don’t mind could you dm me your hair routine?!)
I’d made at least 10-15 smaller projects before I started on this, including a more basic knit “test” sweater with shorter sleeves. It still felt daunting starting this, but I just read through the pattern ahead of time and tried to understand when/why I’d have to do certain steps.
Thanks for the hair compliment! I could definitely dm you and share whatever you want to know, unfortunately the color I’ve been using has been discontinued so I’m about to try a new one soon 🤞
Wow, that looks really good. Great work.
That’s so beautiful! Perfect yarn colour too.
You are so very talented! Not sure if you’re just making things like this for yourself or not, but I know several others that would love to own something like this!
