Would def recommend stitching on a hook and eye on that wrap cardi - they’re lightweight and low profile

Good idea! I think I have some hooks and eyes that I could sew on.
Your cardigans look so lovely! This has made me really think more about the items that i knit and how I want them to fit, I also love having cardigans that i can also wear as jumpers :)

Ahh thank you!! That was my exact goal of this video so I’m so glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching 😊
I did a color analysis- I‘m a deep winter they told my - however I do not like that color so I go with deep autumn color schemes. 😅

Interesting! I’m glad you’re listening to what you like instead of just going with what your color analysis says.
A lot of people seemed to have problems with the highest button on their eva cardigans. Including myself- I sewed it close.

Huh! I didn’t know that. It is too high for a lot of people?
Thank you for another great episode. While watching you I was knitting away on the last sleeve of a cardigan. Always interested in cardigans as they are more comfy than pullovers, and it's nice to see your choices and why you made them.

Thanks so much for watching and the feedback! I hope you got some good progress on your sleeve. I agree that cardigans are comfier too!
i don't have any personal experience with this but i have seen other people who have added a thread of elastic to the neckline of a wrap top to stop it from sagging open. maybe that could be worth trying and i guess it's reversible if it doesn't work.

I should try that! I think that the wrap point is at the wrong point for it to not gap but it is reversible as you said!
Oh I love cardigans!! Your Eva Cardi looks especially great on you!! Would you mind me asking how much ease it has on you? I love the fit!

Thank you! It has 12” of positive ease on me. My bust is 37” and it’s 49” around
