I Knitted a Cardigan For The First Time
Hello, dear Steemians;
If you have followed my previous posts, you have surely noticed that I love knitting. I often share the bags I knit with you, but I have always knitted bags until this time. This time I took it one step further and knitted myself a cardigan.
As we know, we are now in the autumn months and the weather has started to cool down even in Antalya. I was thinking of doing some winter shopping, but since the prices have gone up, you have to think long and hard when buying something. I had many pieces of yarn and I started to think whether I should knit a cardigan myself instead of buying one. The most practical method to evaluate the pieces of yarn is the grenny square model. I thought it wouldn't hurt to try it and started knitting.
First I knitted granny squares, using different colors of yarn I had on hand. This year I'm very interested in colorful things and I want to wear vibrant colors, but my closet is usually full of gray, brown, beige. So I tried to use a lot of vibrant colors in this cardigan. I used size 3.5 crochet and cotton yarn to knit the cardigan.
Each granny square measured 11x11 cm. I used 6 squares for the length of the cardigan, 5 rows of squares for the back, so 30 squares in total, 32 squares of 16 x2 for the front and 2 half motifs for the collar.
You can adjust the size of the model by changing the number of motifs. You can knit longer or shorter models. You can also change the size of the motifs and make changes on the size. It is possible to adjust the size easily through the motifs.
If you wish, you can not knit the sleeves and use them as a vest, but since I am not a vest person, I preferred it as a cardigan. I knitted the colors I used in the motifs evenly on the sleeve in the order I determined and my cardigan is ready to wear.
Now I am looking forward to the day when the weather gets colder and I wear my cardigan.
Thank you for reading my blog.
See you soon🫶🏻
@ozenozge - it is best not to use the #steemexclusive tag if you have replicated the post on another blockchain a day later...

Greetings friend @steemcurator01
As well has commented the friend @ozenozge, the account on Hive has been considered an imposter, below are the publications shared on that platform which have been silenced.
However, it is important to constantly review the exclusivity of the publications before providing support to avoid falling into errors, and thus keep users informed in case you have been copied their content
@petface
Dear @adeljose, thank you for your support. It seems that I need to check this hive account from time to time, since it had no activity for almost 7 months
Hello dear @steemcurator01, i never replicate this post another blockchain . I do not use a hive account and I have already reported this account to the authorities in hive. I even shared such a post here and I was not even aware that it was active again until now.

Thank you so much for double checking this and bringing it to our attention @steemcurator01 I appreciate you having my back @adeljose It goes without saying that next time I will be the first one to notify a Steemian if their content has made an appearance on another platform. I will be extra careful when verifying the exclusivity of the posts. @ozenozge I am really sorry that you have to go through this again. I’m no expert on online fraud or how to prevent one from happening but have you thought of making a little twist on your screen name here and then creating an account with the same on this other platform? In the end of the day you are who you are and nobody can take this away from you. I know it’s annoying but I suggest you look at it like a witness protection programme 🙂Assuming those people have probably endless lists of screen names this should at least make it more difficult for them to keep track of your whereabouts and maybe loose you in this parallel online universe 🌏 Have a happy day all and see you around here!
Hello dear @petface,
When this account was created, I was very disturbed and wrote to many officials at the hive. I remember that you had the same unfortunate experience at that time. I honestly didn't think they would be active again and I was a little shocked. Unfortunately, there are a lot of these impersonators and I don't know how to prevent them.
Greetings my lovely @ozenozge I suggest you get in touch with peakd-support on Discord 📲 JARVIE#0711 or asgarth#7833 will help you out. They also have a Steemit account. You will be asked to verify your identity for instance by commenting on an old post. Good luck and I’m here if you need me 👸
ohh thank you for the help dear @petface.🥰 I'll get in touch with them
Actually @ozenozge your best option is going straight to the Hivewatcher https://discord.gg/ATzJYrN Keep it short and just make sure that your fake account has been blacklisted. It takes a good few hours to get his reply whilst in the meantime others will give you some tips based on their experience 😊
Thank you dear. I realized the account still continues to steal🤦🏻♀️ I joined the discord and explained the situation. I hope they blacklisted this imposter account
Nice job. That is definitely a skill I never picked up.
Thank you. I guess everyone has a different interest
Wow good job Ozge, it looks wonderful :)) you are both talented and brave 💜 I am sure your great cardigan will attract attention :) I'm super curious about your next works ;)
Dear @serap you made me very happy as always with your comment. It makes me proud to receive these compliments from an artist like you. 💞
this looks interesting. You look very cute when you wear knitting with a pattern like that :)
Ohh thank you so much
:)
Good work i like it, i bet it will keep you warm when its colder as well.
Have a super day friend
Thanks, it will definitely keep warm
Seriously, this is your thing, everything looks great on you, I loved it and the colors go well combined, a lot of patience to make each little square, how many hours do you dedicate to it?
Cheers
Ohhh, thank you so much. Knitting is like therapy for me, while knitting squares, I also watch movies etc. so that time passes quickly. I think it took me a week to knit the whole cardigan.
I see it as very therapeutic but it would take me more than a month to do it 🙊
I loved
Cheers!
Very cool! I love manual work. There are so many things now. But it is the roads that are made by hand. You have a talent!
Thank you. using handmade products makes me happy too

At the very latest with this fantastic cardigan, you should be scrambling real quick to find someone to shoot the photos for you!
The "selfie craze" takes a little of the magic out of your brilliant handiwork - sorry for being honest.
Hello dear @chriddi;
Thank you for your sincere comment. Actually, it had been a while since I finished the cardigan, but since I had no one to take photos, I had to wait a little bit and finally I tried to do it with a selfie. Otherwise, I am also aware that the photos do not do the cardigan justice.
Your cardigan belongs well presented in a fashion magazine! It is great - I am quite envious!
But maybe I'll have one soon too, albeit a bit more rustic.... ;-)
Ohh thanks :) I just read your post and you've taken it one step further. But it seems that it takes a lot of work to create a ball of wool. And I am sure that the process is a great pleasure.
Yes, it’s really a pleasure. I’m on my way t becoming a spin junkie… ;-)
No interest in knitting anymore - what of course is a pity since the wool balls should need to become something useful but laying around… ;-D
Hahahah I wish we were closer, I would use your wool. I guess everyone has a different interest
Your cardigan looks really good. I really like it. The color combinations match each other very well.
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you dear i'm glad that you liked it 😍
