Duplicate Stitch | Towns Sweater | Ozetta
This was my first worsted weight sweater and it was rustic. I knit the whole thing continental and my loose purls caused a lot of rowing out. There were some noticeable color differences in the skeins despite being from the same dye lot. The collar was also just terrible (too high and lumpy).
So with loads of leftover yarn, I slowly started adding some duplicate stitch shapes to see if it would hide the base color shifts, my unintentional row stripes, and make it something I’d actually reach for. I think it worked!
Port Jacket | Ozetta
I had a relatively low knitting year in 2025, but I managed to make two much needed cardigans. I’d had my eye on Nora Madara yarn since I first saw the Sake colorway in a LYS, but then I found the brown and it was a done deal. This is definitely one of my most worn sweaters.
Lakes Cardigan | Ozetta
And here’s the second cardigan I finished last year, last day of the year. It’s also Noro Madara because I couldn’t help myself. Overall, I’m pleased with this sweater, but the deep v-neck makes it always kinda feel like it’s about to slide off my shoulders. Otherwise it’s perfectly oversized.
