'I wore it to coffee with a friend (pre-social distancing) and she didn’t comment on it, which I took to mean that my very first knitted sweater fit in nicely with the other non-handmade, store-bought sweaters I usually wear'
Me, in the cropped, chunky Audrey sweater I knit myself. Photo: Bruce Doré Whether it was the big, chunky sweaters that dominated Fashion Week, or Chris Evans in that Knives Out sweater, earlier this year I declared that my 2020 resolution would be to knit my own sweater. While I began knitting way back in the early aughts, I would still consider myself a casual, entry-level knitter, only completing a couple baby hats or simple scarves here and there.
Once I decided the Audrey kit was the one for me, all I had to do was select what size sweater I needed and the yarn color . My kit arrived a couple business days later, with no extra shipping costs, though I should note that its price met Wool And The Gang’s $80 free shipping minimum; otherwise, shipping is about $7.
Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give my handmade sweater is the fact that it doesn’t look handmade. It just looks like a perfectly normal, oversized sweater, not unlike the square-cut sweaters I’ve picked up from Everlane, or this sweater I’d been eyeing from Acne. I wore it to coffee with a friend and she didn’t comment on it, which I took to mean that my very first knitted sweater fit in nicely with the other non-handmade, store-bought sweaters I usually wear.

I spotted these yarn needles with flexible eyes at my mom’s favorite knitting store in Berkeley and had to have them. The flexible wire eyes can expand and widen when you gently squeeze them, which allows you to easily thread bulky or even super-bulky yarn.
