studio joko proudly presents: tangled


starring: the knitter, rowan felted tweed in phantom, 3,25mm knit pro circular needle and tangled yoke sweater pattern
genre: yoke sweater
director: joko
co director: dh
photography: dh and joko


plot: all began when some 7 skeins of rowan felted tweed, knitting needles and tangled yoke pattern hooked up. the knitter started to knit. the sleeves and the body up to the armpits went smoothly and pretty quickly. the knitter had only little previous experience about knitting yoke but the director was sure she was able to manage it.


the plot thickens after the first yoke decreases. first rows of the cable chart went pretty easy but after that the knitter started to make some mistakes. she spotted some and frogged. knitted some more and frogged some more. the knitter tangled the cable big time and after row 18 the director made a decision that affected the hole outcome. the knitter frogged all 18 rows and continued, no longer with the chart but plain stockinette. the rest of the knitting with all that stockinette went predictably easy.

spoiler alert: extras had to be hired to finish the project


post production took a l o t o f time. the knitter already had some other projects and the director hates sewing buttons and binding of the yarn ends. the weather had been great for weeks and the director began to feel worried that the project wouldn´t be ready for beautiful frosty photo shoot in a nearby lake. so she made a move and hired a co director to help. the director offered new wool socks or some other warming accessories as a paycheck but the co director was happy with a glass of red wine. that was easy. buttons got sewn in no time and the director continued with yarn ends. the cardigan got completed and ready for the first appearance, which was quick for a reason - minus eighteen celsius and some chilly breeze.



director is happy with the result and wants to thank rowan for making such a wonderful yarn, eunny for creating and writing the pattern and dh for making sure that the project is done and for being so lovely.

Kaunis! Lanka näyttää ihanan rouhealta ja kuvat ovat upeita!

Minullakin on langat ja ohje tuohon tangled yokeen, pitäisi vaan aloittaa. Saa nähdä kuinka palmikoiden kanssa käy.

Ihana neule, pakko toistaa tuo ColibriDreamsin rouhea, koska se oli ensimmäinen adjektiivi joka tuli mieleeni heti kun katsoin kuviasi! Hauska teksti ja kauniit kuvat, siis täydellinen postaus!

kiitos!

rouhea on kyllä aika hyvä sana kuvaaamaan tuota lankaa.

ColibriDreams, ei palmikko taida olla mitenkään ylitsepääsemättömän vaikea. minulla taisi olla joululomalla sitä neuloessa liian paljon häiriötekijöitä ja liian vähän kärsivällisyyttä.
