Reverse Engineering a Sweater: Getting Started // CasFri 3-38

This week's Casual Friday is mostly about how I approach reverse engineering a knitted item in order to recreate it. This time, instead of recreating an item from a photograph, I have the original item, but it's in a different yarn weight (and therefore knit with a different gauge) than I will be using. Support me by buying me a coffee on Ko-fi! https://www.ko-fi.com/roxannerichardson My knitting designs: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/rox...
