Here I am back with another machine knitting post. Today's project is another cut-n-sew garment. Cut-n-Sew has been coined in the machine knitting world to mean "machine knitted piece, cut with scissors and sewn together on the sewing machine." CNS is a longstanding taboo to most knitters, but not to me! The jacket below started out as coned yarn. I knitted a swatch which I shrank in hot water in the washing machine and dryer and obtained the gauge. I then knit the pieces according to my swatch. After shrinking all the knit fabric, I cut the pieces. After I'd cut and sew the jacket together, I realized I didn't like it and decided to refashion it.
I started with 100% Aran wool yarn.
Cut, interfaced and sewed.
Refashioned
Using Simplicity 2284. See you back next week for the final reveal!
