Yarn: Cascade 220 Sport in Navy, White, Granny Smith, and KnitPicks Palette in Tomato and Blue.
Pattern: Unicorn Tapestry Cardigan by Tamara Gordon
Finished: December 1, 2025
Notes: My first sweater was going to be the Tumble Tee. I started and restarted it at least five times but never finished. I think the combination of fingering weight yarn, endless stockinette, and not loving the yarn I was using did me in. I may still make it one day, but not any time soon.
Enter the Unicorn Tapestry Cardigan. I knew I wanted to make it as soon as I saw it but was intimidated by its complexity. I mean, I couldn't even finish the comparably much more simple Tumble Tee. But I needed to at least give it a try.
I cast on sometime in mid-September. There are plenty of mistakes, and the fit is not exactly what I hoped for. But I'm still super proud and now feel like a knitting genius. One day, I'd like to make this one again.
