Fibre Artist Diaries: #5

I’ve been upskilling my Sentro skills whilst doomscrolling on Pinterest for new projects to work on.

I’ve finally gotten the hang of decreasing panels, which I need for my next cosplay plan for Megacon Manchester. Decided to create my first sentro cardigan prototype, using some random yarn I had lying around.

Unfortunately, I made a big boo-boo with the front panels………starting my decrease in the same direction

I totally forgot that the panels are not reversible and therefore need to be mirrored.

Additionally, when working on a decrease panel you cannot just unravel it to reuse the yarn. A decrease involves creating knots at the end of each row, therefore if you’ve made a mistake, you’ll just have to start a fresh. Even if you’ve run out of the correct yarn colour like I did 💀💀💀

I now have a functioning cardigan in a different colour scheme as a prototype. Here's a sneak peak!
