A Knitting Pattern to Start You Thinking about Bulky Sweaters

August 28, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

The Tartinizza pattern from Lucinda Iglesias is a great simple pattern worked in bulky or super bulky yarn. The pattern itself is only written for one size — a 45-inch chest — but it talks you through the changes and considerations you might want to make to make a bigger or smaller version.

I love bulky sweaters, they are some of my favorites because I’m always cold so they help me feel warmer fast. Bonus: they don’t take as long to knit as garments worked on a finer weight yarn.

So fast, indeed, that Iglesias says in her pattern that she doesn’t always swatch when knitting with them. If she knows the kind of sweater she wants and the fit she’s looking for, she can just get started and adjust as needed as she goes.

If you want to feel more comfortable with a little knitting improvisation, this cozy top-down sweater is a great place to start. You can get the free pattern and modification notes in English and French on Ravelry.

Declutter and Get Set for the Season with the Get Organized Toolkit

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
