Alexa Sunshine83's video: I hand knit the chunky sweater of my DREAMS in only 24 hours DIY colossal cardigan

I think we can all agree mine IS NOT the same as the Hope Macaulay, but I had fun and it's basically a snuggly blanket I can wear to the grocery store so I'm happy! ☀️ http://instagram.com/alexasunshine83👇🏼 CLICK BELOW FOR MORE 👇🏼 Check out Hope's amazing pieces https://hopemacaulay.com Sarah Pan's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vDryOA9VeU Dandi Bambi's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gntsxEsdus MainmadeCrochet's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rddiNeu3IOY&t=25s Yeonii_hobby's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4jmm_sS6KQ&t=910s Massive props to Hope Macaulay, I think it's super important to recognize their originality and also craftsmanship in their garments! All their garments are made-to-order "by a small team of knitters and seamstresses", I hope to one day buy my own, but for now my inspired by wannabe will do! Also all their pieces are either made out of wool or vegan wool, which is how they get that defined braided look. I've seen conflicting arguments about what the best yarn to use to try and make it, I basically chose whatever would be the less likely to shed and also obviously what I had available, but I recommend looking up the right yarn if you end up trying this!

Is that your birth year? NO, the "83" is for 08/03 = 83 which is my birthday (August 3rd). Basically alexasunshine was taken 😬 - Why do you thrift? To stop my consumption of fast fashion due to the horrible treatment of workers and the negative environmental impact of waste fast fashion produces. I recommend the documentary The True Cost 👍🏻 - Are your plants real? NO, all my plants are artificial! -Are your candles real? No, they are flameless.
