Bottom-up Sweater Construction
There are many ways to knit a sweater (probably as many as there are ways to knit!), but one of our favourite construction methods is knitting from the bottom up.

When I went to the stash to choose some yarn for the HOMS KAL I came up with a surprise, a Bodhi sized sweater body all knit up! A couple of sleeves and a fun cabled yoke and I was done!
This will come as no surprise to those who have been following Tin Can Knits for a while, but Emily and I love geometric fair isle. The tiny repeats in the Tenderheart pattern were really fun to swatch and choose and I doubt we are done with the idea yet!
Why swatch when you can sleeve?
In case you missed it we are hosting a KAL over in our Ravelry group for Heart on my Sleeve! There are lots of supportive knitters there already and did I mention the fabulous prizes? You can join in on social media with the hashtag #heartonmysleeveknits
It feels as if we have been working on this project forever and we are so excited to share it with you! Introducing Heart on my Sleeve: Knit with Care. This is a collaborative project with so many of our very favourite designers: Shannon Cook, Romi Hill, Bristol Ivy, Tanis Lavallee, Joji Locatelli, Jane Richmond, and Ysolda Teague.
