Exeter so far: knit all the ribbing, then discovered I'd miscounted my stitches. Ripped out and re-knit 6" of ribbing. Worked the first chart modified to remove the yo's. Decided I didn't like it in this yarn despite liking my swatch alright. Ripped out the cables and re-knit them as written. Phew! #exetercardigan *i should add that I don't mind ripping things out to get the sweater that I want in the end & also I should pay attention when I cast on!* #jbeeexetercardigan #jbeeknits

Weekend knitting progress! Ribbing and pockets done on both fronts. I thought I'd be further along but the pockets really put a wrench in my plans. Also prepped some appliqué and ripped out a ton of plants that aren't working in our front and back yards. I wish I had another weekend day to keep working on projects!! . #exetercardigan #knitting #knittersofinstagram #slowfashion #handmadewardrobe #slowfashionoctober #mishi2x #jbeeexetercardigan #jbeeknits

Finally finished all that 2x2 rib last night so the fronts of my Exeter are complete. I don't think I've ever knit anything with so many moving parts as these fronts! Now onto the sleeves 〰 #exetersweater #mishi2x #brooklyntweed #btinthewild #quinceandco #quinceowl #handmade #handknit #slowfashion #jbeeexetercardigan #jbeeknits

Let the seaming begin! Hope to have a finished Exeter (with the exception of buttons because I haven't bought them yet) by the end of the day. 〰 #exetersweater #mishi2x #brooklyntweed #btinthewild #quinceandco #quinceowl #handmade #handknit #slowfashion #jbeeexetercardigan #jbeeknits

Time to pop the buttons on this Exeter and call it a wrap! Picked these buttons up at Soutache here in Chicago and guys, if you live here and aren't buying buttons for your handknits there you are seriously missing out! 〰 #exetersweater #mishi2x #brooklyntweed #btinthewild #quinceandco #quinceowl #handmade #handknit #slowfashion #jbeeexetercardigan #jbeeknits #soutachechicago

Exeter with buttons! Need to do some photos soon of all the stuff I've been finishing up lately. Pretty excited that I'm actually working on my seasonal wardrobe plans! Next up: some tops to go with all the cardigan style garments so far . #exetersweater #mishi2x #brooklyntweed #btinthewild #quinceandco #quinceowl #handmade #handknit #slowfashion #jbeeexetercardigan #jbeeknits
