I also used a pentel brush pen to make the line art more prominent. I don't think it's as good as the one on the packaging, but overall I am somewhat pleased with the result

I knitted this jumper on my knitting machine, but it was in an unfinished state for a while. I finally got around to sewing the panels together and washing it today. It became way larger than originally intended. See photo and a corresponding entry in my journal

It is so much fun to be able to do my own designs. I couldn't find matching blank punchcards because my machine is a weird model, but I managed to recreate it by hand.

(I wasn't sure which flair to use, went for "Finished Object" because seemed like the best fit)

Not that I don't think they're cool, I'm just curious realistically how much market there is for this.

I asked if the price was correct and the ai chatbot said yes (which doesn't prove anything to be fair), and there is a set on Etsy priced around £1000

So I know it's super weird and strange but I had this unique idea to knit this jumper from this movie I've seen. I have never knitted before but you guys can guide me through this I'm sure. And if you like my idea, you can steal it and make one for yourself too! You're welcome 😁 I'm probably the only person on Earth who thought of this so this is uncharted territory - tell me how to begin and what to do. I'm all ears, my needles are ready. Do I need yarn?

One long swatch of cool stitches

Center pull cakes when wound without taking twist into account (or just at home) will introduce additional twist to the yarn (see https://dorischancrochet.com/2012/03/27/theoretical-ball-winding-and-crochet/, https://peggyosterkamp.com/2026/01/use-twist-turning-a-ball-or-spool-upside-down-can-effect-the-twist-of-a-yarn/).

Also, center pull cakes can collapse and tangle when half used.

Granny balls are what idal yarn shape. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

I said what I said.

Just think of a cartoon cat playing with a cartoon ball of yarn. That is always a granny ball. Also, the emoji 🧶. So cute, so simple, so perfect.

I loosely followed measurement from Ann Budd "A handy book of Sweater Patterns"

I thought the holes were due to me doing something wrong when putting needles back to being knit, but actually it turned out that with my tension, as I was pulling the needle all the way out to non-active position, I was undoing the last stitch on it.
