In Episode 6 of my “Every Sweater I’ve Ever Knit” series, I’m back in the sweater time machine—this time pulling pieces from a wide range of my 13 years of knitting. I walk through several sweaters from different eras of my making, from some of my earliest attempts (yes, including my literal first sweater) all the way up to more recent projects. It’s a mix of wins, learning moments, and the kind of practical hindsight you only get after you’ve actually lived with a garment for a while. I talk through specific projects like Marion, Liesl, My First Sweater, Dahlia, and Belladonna, and I share what I remember about the patterns, the yarn choices, and how my preferences have shifted over time. If you’re thinking about knitting your first sweater—or you’ve already knit a few and you’re trying to figure out what you like (fit, construction, cardigan vs pullover, etc.)—this episode is basically a big, cozy comparison chart with real-life context. And if you missed earlier episodes, I’ve got the full playlist linked so you can start from the beginning.
