Replacing a favorite sweater...

I have this sweater.
It's a cardigan style button up, thick chunky, cozy kind of sweater.
And like most favorite sweaters.. it's falling apart.  I wear it a lot.

I'd love to replace it with a new one.  But I've never taken an existing sweater and made a pattern to knit from...

Any suggestions or advice?

  1. I would do a ravelry search and try to be as thorough as possible. Try to figure out the weight of the yarn in the sweater, and search that weight yarn.

    Or, you can take a picture and let the readers see if they have anything in mind. I think that sounds like more fun! ;)

  3. Definitely post a picture. I'd love to look at it and see what my brain can come up with! Re-creating old sweaters are so much fun!

  4. Is this the brownish sweater that you ALWAYS wear? If it is, you should have someone try to duplicate it so you can make one similar. Or I can give you the mine, the white one that I bought because you changed your mind! :P

  5. Take it to your local yarn store and see if there is someone there who can help get you started. the LYS is always full of knitting talent.

  6. Yes, Rachel it's the beige one I wear a lot. The white one was too small, which is why I didn't get it :P.

    I'll post some pictures when it comes out of the wash.

Blog Tour: Romancing the Countess by Ashley March

About the book: Sebastian Madinger, the Earl of Wriothesly, thought he'd married the perfect woman-until a fatal accident revealed her betrayal with his best friend. After their deaths, Sebastian is determined to avoid a scandal for the sake of his son. But his best friend's widow is just as determined to cast her mourning veil aside by hosting a party that will surely destroy both their reputations and expose all of his carefully kept secrets... Leah George has carried the painful knowledge of her husband's affair for almost a year. All she wants now is to enjoy her independence and make a new life for herself-even if that means being ostracized by the Society whose rules she was raised to obey. Now that the rumors are flying, there's only one thing left for Sebastian to do: silence the scandal by enticing the improper widow into becoming a proper wife. But when it comes to matters of the heart, neither Sebastian nor Leah is prepared for the pa...
