DIY Alabama Chanin x Blackwood Cardigan

May 25, 2021

I have finally finished the Alabama Chanin School of Making (ACSoM) cardigan.

It’s been a total labour of love. I started it in July 2019 and finished it in March of this year. I’ve been waiting to photograph it because, after all that work, it was a wardrobe orphan. But I’ve now got a Cashmerette Springfield top that works perfectly*, so here we go.

DIY Teen Blackwood Cardigan – Helen’s Closet

April 5, 2021

This is my 7th outing with Helen’s Closet Blackwood Cardigan.

This time though, I made it for Miss 13 for Christmas. I’d heard lots of none too subtle hints for quite some time that she wanted one, but I wasn’t sure if it would fit.

September 20, 2020

The Helen’s Closet Blackwood cardigan is a staple in my wardrobe, and paired with a new Ogden Cami, I’ve got the perfect outfit for coffee dates with friends….although we’re back in local lockdown next week which isn’t encouraging.

Another Blackwood cardigan

October 29, 2019

Yet another Blackwood cardigan by Helen’s Closet! This is the last for the moment, I think! Although there is a stray piece of French terry in the stash. That may or may not become my 5th iteration of this pattern.

Hi there,
I'm Evie and I knit, stitch, spin and sew.
With varying degrees of success!
But always with my family around me in our little town in the North of England.
Grab a brew and stay a while.
