Thanks for tuning in! Turn on captions to follow along. These past weeks I’ve been replicating my friend’s favourite store-bought v-neck knitted rib sweater. She adores this sweater but unfortunately, it has a stain that won’t come off. For her birthday we are going to be replicating that sweater with Drops Sky and Drops Soft Tweed yarn from scratch to finish.
