I made a huge knitting mistake: How to fix your wardrobe failures - Video

I finished this blue knitted cardigan, but I have some major regrets. Here is my honest plan to save this knitting project.

Creating custom garments is a labour of love, but sometimes the vision doesn't match reality. This knitted cardigan took significant time and materials, yet the final fit and aesthetic fell short of my expectations. I am walking through my design process to show exactly where things went sideways and why I am currently rethinking the entire structure of this handmade clothing.

This is part of my 5-month challenge to finally get this channel monetised — or walk away. THE 3 OPTIONS — tell me which one

Style it as an outer layer and let the contrast be deliberate
Over-dye the whole garment to a deeper, more grounding neutral
Frog it, reclaim the yarn, knit a simpler silhouette.

After this project, I added a colour audit straight into the planner — it's the check I now run before I commit to a single skein: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1850872/179689380314613550/share
